As an open software and hardware system, Open Application Architecture (OAA) provides a set of 

complete standard software and hardware interfaces. The third party vendors can develop products 

with special functions. These products can be compatible with each other as long as they conform to the 

OAA interface standards. Therefore the functions of single network product can be expanded and the 

users can get more benefits. 

Open Application Platform (OAP) is a physical platform developed based on OAA. It can be an 

independent network device, or a board or program used as an extended part of a device. An OAP runs 

an independent operating system. You can load software such as security and voice in the operating 

system as needed. 

You can log in to the access control engine through the console port on the device and perform the 

following configurations on the access control engine. Then, you can log in to the switching engine. 

1) Execute 

the 

oap connect slot 0 command in user view of the access control engine to log in to the 

switching engine. 

<device> oap connect slot 0 

Connected to OAP! 

2)  Press Enter to enter user view of the switching engine. 

<device_LSW>

To distinguish between the access control engine and the switching engine, the name of the 

switching engine is changed to device_LSW here. In fact, the default name of the switching engine 

is device.

You can press Ctrl+K to return to the command line interface of the access control engine. 

 

In the OAA system of the device, the access control engine and the switching engine integrate together 

and function as one device. For the snmp UDP Domain-based network management station (NMS), 

however, the access control engine and the switching engine are independent SNMP agents. Physically, 

two agents are on the same managed object; while logically, they belong to two different systems, and 

they manage their own MIB objects on the access control engine and the switching engine separately.
