Aruba AOS-CX API Driver Overview

We implement an AOS-CX driver in the AosCxConnector() class in switches/connect/aruba_aoscx/connector.py.

This class uses the pyaoscx library provided by Aruba, and available at https://github.com/aruba/pyaoscx/ See also https://developer.arubanetworks.com/aruba-aoscx/docs/python-getting-started

We implement get_my_basic_info() and get_my_client_data() by reading various switch REST API classes.

Update: as of November 2023, this library supports all functionality that OpenL2M needs. I.e. This driver is now fully functional!

(Note: that at the time of this writing (May 2022), Power-over-Ethernet and LLDP functions are not implemented in the library, so that data is not available in OpenL2M.)
