Configuring the OAP module
NOTE:
Support for this feature may vary depending on the device model. For more information, see About the
WX Series Access Controllers Configuration Guides.
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 module. An OAP module runs an independent operating system.
You can load software such as security and voice in the operating system as needed. 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.
Logging in to the operating system of an OAP
module
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 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 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.
Logging in through the management Ethernet port of an OAP
module by using SSH
You can log in to the operating system of an OAP module through its management Ethernet port. To
configure the OAP module as the SSH server, follow these steps:
