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 9-2 shows the interaction principle between eSight and the device, client, and distributed server.

   Figure 9-2 Interaction principle between eSight and external devices
   
   Table 9-2 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.
   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

      Table 9-3 Parameters in the Linux 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
