About OAP manager

About OAP

The Open Application Platform (OAP) is a physical platform that is based on the Open Application Architecture (OAA). OAP allows products from different vendors to operate together to meet service requirements.

OAP manager/client model

OAP uses a manager/client model.

·     OAP manager—A feature integrated in the Comware system software.

·     OAP client—A feature that is integrated in the Comware system software of the device or in the operating system of an OAP module. On the operating system of an OAP module, you can install service software (such as security software and voice software) as needed.

Figure 1 OAA diagram

As shown in Figure 1, OAA includes the following components:

·     Routing/switching component—Provides routing and switching services. This component is the control center of the entire architecture and acts as the OAP manager.

·     Standalone service component—Provides services to meet specific requirements. This component acts as the OAP client.

·     Interfacing component—Connects the standalone service component to the routing/switching component.

OAP is used for communication and cooperation between the routing/switching component and the standalone service component.

You can install an OAP module in the device. For example, you can install an IDS/IPS OAP module in the device to provide intrusion detection and protection services.

OAP functions

OAP provides the following functions:

·     OAP clients register with and deregister from the OAP manager.

·     The OAP manager assigns IDs to OAP clients to uniquely identify the clients.

·     The OAP manager and an OAP client exchange information to, for example, monitor each other and synchronize the clock.

From the OAP manager, you can perform the following tasks:

·     Restart OAP clients.

·     Shut down OAP clients.

·     Display OAP client information.

An OAP manager can manage up to 255 OAP clients.

OAP manager timers

The OAP manager uses the following timers:

·     Clock synchronization timer—Regularly triggers the OAP manager to send clock and time zone synchronization notifications to OAP clients. This mechanism keeps the clients' clocks synchronized with the manager's clock.

·     Client monitoring timer—Regularly triggers the OAP manager to send client monitoring packets to OAP clients.
