Aruba switch device-type

by

Long time no see! I never take the time to write my blog posts even I have a few different topics saved so I will try to make some short posts just to get things going.

I have a few customers with different models of Aruba switches and on the models before OS-CX I always forget how I can see the exact model I’m logged into from the CLI so here is some different ways to see that.

I found the information on Airheads Community in the thread how to see switch device-type on CLI | Wired Intelligent Edge (arubanetworks.com)

Now I have it saved for the next time I forget how to see which model the switch I’m logged into is :).
