Physical Appliances

Data collectors are available as physical appliances or virtual appliances. Before you can use an Aruba application that uses data collectors, you must set up appliances.

To set up a physical appliance, you use several command line options from the Collector CLI on the appliance after it is installed. On the Collector CLI, there are seven options that are available for selection. The options available are listed below:

Options:

1. Configure Hostname 4. Configure Proxy 7. Advanced Options

2. Configure Network 5. Change Timezone/NTP 0. Exit

3. Register 6. Test Connectivity

You use options 1 through 6 to set up a physical appliance. Perform the options in the order in which they are displayed.

For more information about the advanced options, see Using Command Line Interface Options.

Before You Begin

Before you begin to set up a physical appliance, you must create a Registration Token.

For more information, see Creating Registration Tokens.
