Running CLI sessions

User Manuals : FOXMAN-UN Northbound Interface - User Manual : SSH tunneling for northbound IF : Running CLI sessions

In order to connect to:

• the FOXMAN-UN inventory northbound interface (default port 2500) type:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/nbicliclient.id_dsa nbicli@foxman-unHost.dns.dom telnet foxman-unHost.dns.dom 2500

• the FOXMAN-UN ECLIP northbound interface (default port 2600) type:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/nbicliclient.id_dsa nbicli@foxman-unHost.dns.dom telnet foxman-unHost.dns.dom 2600

• the FOXMAN-UN linetest_cli northbound interface (default port 2700) type:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/nbicliclient.id_dsa nbicli@foxman-unHost.dns.dom telnet foxman-unHost.dns.dom 2700

Alternatively you also could setup an SSH tunnel with port forwarding:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/nbicliclient.id_dsa \
-L2500:foxman-unHost.dns.dom:2500 \
-L2600:foxman-unHost.dns.dom:2600 \
-L2700:foxman-unHost.dns.dom:2700 \
nbicli@foxman-unHost.dns.dom

Please note:

The -L options that are not required can be omitted when entering the above command.

In the command shown above the backslash is used to connect several lines to one command line.

As long as this SSH session is kept open the NBI CLI ports are tunneled between the FOXMAN-UN core host and your client host and you can connect as follows:

• FOXMAN-UN inventory northbound interface:

telnet localhost 2500

• FOXMAN-UN ECLIP northbound interface:

telnet localhost 2600

• FOXMAN-UN linetest_cli northbound interface:

telnet localhost 2700
