Using API in ArubaOS Switches with Postman by Ulises Cázares

 Hi, today I'm gonna show how to interact with the Aruba OS version 16.10 switches API using postman.

WiFi - How to know supported channels by a wireless client by Ulises Cázares

 Hi, in this post I would tell you how to be sure which WiFi channels are supported by a wireless client so we can configure wireless solutions that will work with the endpoints in the environment. I normally approach this topic in 2 ways 1.

In the following images we'll see where in the association request we can see that information.    The fastest way to do it is to follow these steps: Put the wireless adapatar in monitor mode in the AP channel we'are going to connect the wireless client Open wireshar
