controller ip-address

Usage Scenario

The switch needs to register with iMaster NCE-Campus for authentication in NETCONF over SSH Callhome mode. Before registration authentication, the switch needs to obtain the IP address of iMaster NCE-Campus for communication with iMaster NCE-Campus. The switch can obtain the IP address of iMaster NCE-Campus through DHCP or the registration query center, or you can configure an IP address for iMaster NCE-Campus using the controller ip-address command.

Precautions

• If the switch obtains the IP addresses of iMaster NCE-Campus using all the three methods, the IP addresses are sorted in descending order of priority as follows: IP address obtained using DHCP, IP address configured using the command, and IP address obtained through the registration query center.

• If you run this command multiple times, only the latest configuration takes effect.

• When both the controller ip-address command and the controller url command are configured on the switch, only the latest command takes effect. That is, the switch registers with iMaster NCE-Campus using either the IP address of iMaster NCE-Campus or the IP address resolved from the URL of iMaster NCE-Campus.

• If a switch that has registered with a iMaster NCE-Campus needs to register with another iMaster NCE-Campus, restart the switch before the re-registration.
