1.1  OAP Module Overview

As an open software and hardware system, Open Application Architecture (OAA) of Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (referred to as H3C herein after) provides a set of complete standard software and hardware interfaces based on H3C devices. The third party vendors can develop products with special functions. These products can be compatible with H3C devices as long as they conform to the OAA interface standards. Therefore the functions of single network products can be expanded and the users can get more benefits.

Open Application Platform (OAP) is developed based on Open Application Architecture (OAA). It can be an independent network device, or a board used as an extended part of a device. We call this kind of board as an OAP module. An OAP module runs an independent operating system. You can load software such as security and voice in the operating system as needed. Meanwhile, after an OAP module is inserted into the expansion module slot of the device, it interacts with the device on data, status information and control information through its internal service interfaces.

1.2  Logging In to the Operating System of an OAP Module

 

 

1.2.1  Logging In Through the Console Port of an OAP Module

You can log in to the operating system on an OAP module directly through the console port on the OAP module. In this example, a PC acts as a terminal.

1)         Connect one end of the configuration cable to the serial port of the PC, and the other end to the console port of the OAP module.

2)         Start the PC and run the terminal emulation program such as the HyperTerminal. Select the connection mode COM and set the terminal parameters. Parameter requirements: set the bits per second to 9600, data bits to 8, parity to none, stop bits to 1, and flow control to none.

After the configuration, you can log in to the operating system of the OAP module through the terminal emulation program on the PC.

1.2.2  Logging In Through the Management Ethernet Port of an OAP Module Using SSH

The SSH server function is enabled on the OAP module by default. You can use SSH on the SSH client to log in to the operating system of the OAP module through the management Ethernet port of the OAP module. In this example, a switch is used as the SSH client. The login process is as follows:

1)         Connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet port of the switch, and the other end to the management Ethernet port of the OAP module.

2)         Ensure that a route exists between the switch and the management Ethernet port.

3)         Execute the ssh2 command on the switch, enter the IP address of the management Ethernet port and use it as the IP address of the SSH server. You can log in to the operating system of the OAP module after the SSH connection is established successfully.

1.2.3  Logging In Through the Internal Ethernet Interface of an OAP Module Using SSH

After an OAP module is installed into the expansion module slot of a device, the OAP module exchanges information with the device through its two internal service interfaces. One of them is a serial interface, and the other is a fast Ethernet interface. The fast Ethernet interface is used in this login mode.

The SSH server function is enabled on the OAP module by default. You can use SSH on the SSH client (for example, a PC) to log in to the operating system of the OAP module through the device. In this example, a PC is used as the SSH client. The login process is as follows:

1)         Connect one end of the cable to the PC, and the other end to the Ethernet port of the device.

2)         Ensure that a route exists between the PC and the fast Ethernet interface.

3)         Input the IP address of either of the internal service interfaces as the SSH server address. You can log in to the operating system of the OAP module after the connection is established.

1.2.4  Redirecting to an OAP Module from the Device

You can redirect to the operating system of an OAP module from the device through the following operation. In this way, the terminal display interface will be switched from the command line interface on the device to the operating interface of the operating system of the OAP module, and you can manage the system and application software on the OAP module. After the switch, you can press Ctrl+k to return to the command line interface on the device.

Follow the step to redirect from the device to the OAP module:

To do…	Use the command…	Remarks
Redirect from the device to the OAP module	oap connect slot slot-number	Required Available in user view

 

1.3  Configuring the Management IP Address of an OAP Module

In the OAA system, a device and an OAP module integrate together and function as one device. For the snmp UDP Domain-based network management station (NMS), however, a device and an OAP module are independent SNMP agents. Physically, two agents are on the same managed object; while logically, they belong to two different systems, and they manage their own MIB objects on the device and the module separately. Therefore, when you use the NMS to manage the device and the OAP module on the same interface, you must first obtain the management IP addresses of the two SNMP agents and obtain the link relationship between them, and then you can access the two agents. By default, the management IP address of an OAP module is not configured.

Follow these steps to configure the management IP address of an OAP module:

To do…	Use the command…	Remarks
Enter system view	system-view	—
Configure the management IP address of an OAP module	oap management-ip ip-address slot slot-number	Required Not configured by default.

 

 

1.4  Resetting the System of an OAP Module

If the operating system works abnormally or is under other anomalies, you can reset the system of an OAP module with the following command, which is equal to resetting the OAP module by pressing the reset button on the OAP module.

An OAP module has its independent CPU; therefore, the device can still recognize and control the OAP module after you reset the OAP system.

Follow the step to reset the system of an OAP module:

To do…	Use the command…	Remarks
Reset the system of an OAP module	oap reboot slot slot-number	Required Available in user view
