Examples

The following examples show how you can use curl with ArubaOS-CX REST API. The response body might vary based on the ArubaOS-CX switch series. For example, the 8320 and 6400 switches show VSX information, whereas the 6300 and 6200 switches show VSF and PoE information.

As a best practice, before you perform a GET, PUT, POST, or DELETE operation, you must login to create a session and save the cookie file by specifying the-coption with a file name. After you perform the operation, you must logout to end the session and pass the cookie file back to the switch by specifying the-boption with the same file name. The following examples assume that you are performing the step to login before performing the operations in the example and logout after performing the operations.
