Configuring the OAP module
About OAP modules
The Open Application Platform (OAP) is a hardware platform based on the Open Application
Architecture (OAA). OAP uses a manager/client model. The OAP client can be a network device or
an OAP module. An OAP module can be an expansion card installed in a network device or an
integrated part of a network device.
OAP modules have their own operating systems. You can log in to the operating system of an OAP
module to install features. For example, you can install security features and voice features on the
OAP module operating system to provide security and voice services for users.
OAP modules exchange data, status information, and control information with hosting devices
through internal interfaces.
OAP provides an open interface for third-party vendors to develop and integrate value-added
applications into H3C products.
Logging in to an OAP module
Logging in through the console port on the OAP module
1.
Connect one end of the console cable to the serial port of the configuration terminal (for
example, a PC).
2.
Connect the other end of the console cable to the console port of the OAP module.
3.
Start the PC and run a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal.
4.
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.
5.
Follow the OAP module user guide to log in to the operating system of the OAP module.
Logging in through the management Ethernet port on the
OAP module by using SSH
1.
Connect the management Ethernet port of the OAP module to the network by using a network
cable.
2.
Log in to the OAP module through the console port and enable the SSH server function on the
OAP module.
3.
Assign an IP address to the management Ethernet port of the OAP module.
Make sure the
management Ethernet port and the SSH client (an H3C device or a PC with SSH client software)
can reach each other.
4.
From the SSH client, establish an SSH connection to the IP address of the management
Ethernet port on the OAP module.
