Micro USB port - Not able to connect console (ARUBA 8325)
Aruba Console Cable Isses
USB C for Aruba 6300
How exactly do you putty to Cx 6100 with this USB-C console port?
Why do some Aruba hardware devices require a console driver for USB console cables, while others do not require one for RJ45 console ports?
What steps should be taken to download the appropriate USB console drivers for indoor Aruba APs and Gateways/Controllers?
What role do FTDI and Silabs play in enabling USB console functionality for Aruba devices, and how does each contribute differently to this process?

Hi there
I am trying to connect my laptop to the micro usb port on both our Aruba 8325 switches but cannot. I can connect to the RJ45 port just fine. Also the micro usb port works just find on our 6300m series devices. Any suggestions?
I am trying to console into some Aruba 505 AP to reset them (reset button doesnt work)...
I have downloaded the Silicon Lab usb to uart driver, but it gives me the error 10 cannot start device. Windows doesnt have driver for the console cable. I tried the one from HP and it didnt work either. Ive tried three different computers, and 3 different Aps. I only have one cable...
Thoughts? On How I can reset these MFers without a console cable... I unplug from power and hold reset button and plug back in and hold for 20 seconds and nothing-- just keeps blinking green, set-me-up never comes back.
Hi,
So, driver or no additional driver ? Simple classic « phone » usb-c to usb-a cable or special usb-c console/serial cable ? The console port is included in the switch or not ? I don’t get any COM port displayed in my windows 11 device manager so I cannot specify one in Putty. Some have the com port mount automatically (on Linux). The docs talk about a software ftdi driver. I installed it and nothing happened/no com port.
So, am I forced to buy a arubaConsoleCable ? Should I install the drivers « the right way » or is there a simple thing I completely missed (except my career choice)? Thank you in advance to help me access this brand new switch.
Edit: my problem was using a "charging-only" cable facepalm Thanks for your answers and information
