OAP card overview
The Open Application Platform (OAP) cards are developed based on the Open Application Architecture
(OAA) by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as H3C).
An OAP card has an independent CPU and memory card (CF card), and it can load various service
software. When an OAP card is installed in a switch, the switch can provide security, management, and
wireless communication applications flexibly and rapidly besides basic data forwarding functions. In this
way, multiple kinds of applications are implemented on the same device, facilitating network and service
deployment and reducing overall cost at the same time.
Configuring an OAP card
Logging in to the software system of an OAP card through the
switch
You can redirect to the operating system of an OAP card from the switch when the OAP card is installed
on the switch. In this way, the terminal display interface is switched from the command line interface (CLI)
on the switch to the operating interface of the software system on the OAP card, and you can manage
the system and application software of the OAP card on the switch.
To return to the CLI on the switch after the operating interface switch, press
Ctrl+K
.
Follow the step below to redirect from the switch to the software system on the OAP card:

NOTE:
•
You can install multiple OAP cards on some models of the S5800 and S5820X switches. If you log in to
the software system of one OAP card first, you cannot log in to the software system of another by using
the
oap connect
command. To log in to the software system of another OAP card, return to the CLI on
the switch by pressing
Ctrl+K
.
•
For an Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) virtual device, use the
oap connect
command repeatedly to
log in to the software systems of multiple OAP cards installed on different member switches, but not on
the same member switch.
