## About This Document

This guide details the steps necessary to connect ArubaOS switch appliances to the Epiphany Intelligence Platform (EIP). EIP leverages network configuration data from sources like ArubaOS to provide visibility into how assets are connected from a network perspective.

## Overview

ArubaOS switch configuration data can be collected securely via SSHv2 connections to the various appliances operating throughout a network.

The Epiphany Intelligence Platform requires read-only access to ArubaOS appliances, which can be configured through creating user privileges. 

There are two options for doing this; either is acceptable: 

* **New user**: Create a new user, designated for use by Epiphany, and provide it the proper privileges.
* **Existing user**: Use an existing user and follow the steps to ensure it has the correct privileges to collect all necessary data. 

## Version Compatibility

* **Epiphany Site Collector:** Epiphany Collector Version 1.0 and later.
* **ArubaOS:** ArubaOS switch Version 16 and later.
* **SSH:** SSHv2.

## Prerequisites

* [ ] Access to the ArubaOS CLI.
* [ ] Ability to create a user or access to an existing user with read-only rights.
* [ ] If SSH collection is used, SSH access is required from network appliances to the Epiphany Site Collector.

## What is Needed for Integration <a href="#hlk85191078" id="hlk85191078"></a>

* [ ] A username with the read-only role and its password.&#x20;
* [ ] The IP address of the ArubaOS switch appliance.&#x20;
