Configuring OAP modules

The H3C Open Application Architecture (OAA) provides an open interface for third-party vendors to develop value-added applications (such as firewall and IPS) and integrate the applications into H3C products. H3C has developed some application-specific modules called "Open Application Platform (OAP) module."

Support for this feature depends on the device model. For more information, see About the WX Series Access Controllers Configuration Guides.

Logging in to the operating system of an OAP module

An OAP module has an independent operating system and CLI. You must log in to the module's CLI to configure it.

Logging in through the console port on the OAP module

You can log in to the operating system on an OAP module directly through the console port on the OAP module. 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 module.

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

?     Bits per second—9600

?     Data bits—8

?     Parity check mode—None

?     Stop bits—1

?     Flow control—None

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

Logging in through the management Ethernet port of the OAP module by using SSH

To log in to the operating system of an OAP module through its management Ethernet port, you must first configure the OAP module as the SSH server. To do so, follow these steps:

1.     Log in to the OAP module through the console port, and then enable the SSH server function on the OAP module.

2.     Connect the management Ethernet port of the OAP module to the network by using a network cable.

3.     Assign an IP address to the management Ethernet port of the OAP module, and make sure the SSH client (the H3C device or a PC that has the SSH client software installed) and the management Ethernet port can reach each other.

4.     Establish an SSH connection, entering the IP address of the management Ethernet port as the SSH server IP address.

After the SSH connection is successfully established, you are logged in to the operating system of the OAP module.

Switching to the OAP module's CLI from the device

From the device's CLI, you can switch to the OAP module's CLI to manage and configure the OAP module's system and software. To switch back to the device's CLI, press Ctrl+K.

To switch to the CLI of the OAP module from the device, execute one of the following commands in user view as appropriate:

Resetting OAP modules

To recover an OAP module from an error condition, reboot the module at the CLI or press the reset button on the module. The device can still identify and control the OAP module after the reset.

To reset the OAP module, execute the following command in user view:
