OAP card overview

As an open software and hardware system, the 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. This enables third party vendors to develop products with special functions. These products can be compatible with H3C devices as long as they conform to the OAA interface standards. The functions of single network products can be expanded so users can have more benefits.

The Open Application Platform (OAP) is developed based on the OAA. It can be an independent network device, or a card used as an extended part of a device or integrated into a network device. This kind of OAP is referred to as an OAP card. An OAP card runs an independent operating system. You can load software such as security and voice in the operating system as needed. After an OAP card 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.

Logging in to the operating system of an OAP card

 

NOTE: This document only covers the OAP card related operations on a switch. For the operations on an OAP card, see the OAP card documentation.

 

Logging in through the console port of an OAP card

You can log in to the operating system on an OAP card directly through the console port on the OAP card. In the following procedure, the 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 card.

2.      Start the PC and run the terminal emulation program such as the HyperTerminal. Select the connection mode COM and set the terminal parameters as follows: 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 card through the terminal emulation program on the PC.

Telnetting to an OAP card through the network management port

5.      Execute the telnet command on the PC, with the IP address of the network management port of the OAP card as the destination address. You can log in to the operating system of the OAP card after a connection is established.

Logging in through the network management port of an OAP card with SSH

You can use the SSH client to log in to the operating system of an OAP card through its network management port.

Using a switch as the SSH client

1.      Assign an IP address to the network management port of the OAP card.

2.      Enable the SSH server on the OAP card with the ssh server enable command.

3.      Connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet port of the switch, and the other end to the network management port of the OAP card.

4.      Make sure that the network management port of the switch and that of the OAP card can reach each other.

5.      Execute the ssh command on the switch, with the IP address of the network management port of the OAP card as the SSH server address. You can log in to the operating system of the OAP card after the connection is established.

Using a PC as the SSH client

1.      Assign an IP address to the network management port of the OAP card.

2.      Enable the SSH server on the OAP card with the ssh server enable command.

3.      Connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet port of the PC, and the other end to the network management port of the OAP card.

4.      Make sure that the network management port of the PC and that of the OAP card can reach each other.

5.      Execute the ssh command on the PC, with the IP address of the network management port of the OAP card as the SSH server address. You can log in to the operating system of the OAP card after the connection is established.

Redirecting to an OAP card from the switch

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

To redirect from the switch to the OAP card:

 

Step	Command	Remarks
1.     Redirect from the switch to the OAP card (standalone mode).	oap connect slot slot-number	Available in user view
2.     Redirect from the switch to the OAP card (IRF mode).	oap connect chassis chassis-number slot slot-number	Available in user view

 

NOTE: ·       Before using the oap connect command to log in to the OAP card, perform basic configurations for the AUX port of the switch through the console port on the OAP card to allow redirection from the switch to the OAP card. ·       The LSR1ACG1A1 and LSR1IPS1A1 cards do not support redirecting from the switch to the OAP card through the oap connect command.

 

Configuring the management IP address of an OAP card

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

To configure the management IP address of an OAP card:

 

Step	Command	Remarks
1.     Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2.     Configure the management IP address of an OAP card (standalone mode).	oap management-ip ip-address slot slot-number	Not configured by default.
3.     Configure the management IP address of an OAP card (IRF mode).	oap management-ip ip-address chassis chassis-number slot slot-number	Not configured by default.

 

CAUTION: ·       Before the above configuration, H3C recommends that you configure the same IP address at the OAP card side; otherwise, the NMS cannot access the OAP card by using the configured management IP address. ·       For the operations on an OAP card, see the corresponding documentation of the OAP card.

 

Resetting the system of an OAP card

If the operating system is not working properly (for example, the system does not respond), you can reset the system of an OAP card with the following command, which is equal to resetting the OAP card by pressing the reset button on the OAP card.

An OAP card has its independent operating system; therefore, the switch can still recognize and control the OAP card after you reset the OAP system.

To reset the system of an OAP card:

 

Step	Command	Remarks
1.     Reset the system of an OAP card (standalone mode).	oap reboot slot slot-number	Available in user view
2.     Reset the system of an OAP card (IRF mode).	oap reboot chassis chassis-number slot slot-number	Available in user view

 

CAUTION: ·       Resetting the OAP card may cause data loss and service interruption. Before resetting the OAP card, you need to save the configurations of the OAP card operating system and shut it down to avoid service interruption and hardware data loss. ·       See the corresponding documentation of an OAP card for the operations on the OAP card.
