How to Obtain the IP Address of eSight

Question

Currently, eSight supports southbound and northbound isolation and non-isolation scenarios. In the two scenarios, eSight uses different IP addresses to communicate with external systems. How to obtain the eSight IP address in the corresponding scenario?

Answer

1. Check the IP address type.

   Figure 11-9 shows the interaction principle between eSight and the device, client, and distributed server.

   Figure 11-9 Interaction principle between eSight and external devices
   
   Table 11-8 IP address type

   Scenario	IP Address Type	Description
   Southbound and northbound isolation scenario	System/application management IP address NOTE: In a local HA system, the system/application IP address is the floating IP address of the HA system.	The IP address is used for eSight to interact with upper-level NMSs, clients, and third-party systems.
   	Southbound device management IP address NOTE: In a local HA system, the southbound device management IP address is the southbound floating IP address of the HA system.	The IP address is used for eSight to interact with devices and distributed servers.
   Southbound and northbound non-isolation scenario	System/application management IP address NOTE: In a local HA system, the system/application IP address is the floating IP address of the HA system.	The system/application management IP address is the same as the southbound device management IP address. The IP address is used for eSight to interact with external systems.

2. Obtain the IP address.
   • Windows operating system
     1. Log in to the server as the Administrator user.
     2. Open the CLI and run the following commands:

        cd /d eSight installation directory/mttools/tools

        southip.bat show

        The following information is displayed:

        Indicates whether the southbound IP address is enabled: Yes
        System IP Address: 10.120.50.118
        South IP Address: 192.168.1.123

        Table 11-9 Parameters in the Windows scenario

        Parameter	Description	Example
        Indicates whether the southbound IP address is enabled	Indicates whether to enable the southbound and northbound isolation function. The options are as follows: Yes No	Yes
        System IP Address	System/application management IP address.	10.120.50.118
        South IP Address	Southbound device management IP address.	192.168.1.123

   • Linux operating system
     1. Log in to the server as the ossuser user.

        In a two-node cluster system, you need to log in to the active server and perform the following operations.

     2. Run the following command to query the IP address information:

        es_cli -cmd southip -show

        Indicates whether the southbound IP address is enabled: Yes
        System IP Address: 10.120.50.118
        South IP Address: 192.168.1.123

        The es_cli -cmd southip -show command can be used in eSight V300R010C00SPC500 and later versions.

        Parameter	Description	Example
        Indicates whether the southbound IP address is enabled	Indicates whether to enable the southbound and northbound isolation function. The options are as follows: Yes No	Yes
        System IP Address	System/application management IP address.	10.120.50.118
        South IP Address	Southbound device management IP address.	192.168.1.123
