Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

In NETCONF over SSH Callhome mode, the switch needs to register with iMaster NCE-Campus for authentication. 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 obtain the IP address by resolving the URL configured using the controller url command.

Precautions

If the switch obtains the URL of iMaster NCE-Campus using all the three methods, the URLs are sorted in descending order of priority as follows: URL obtained using DHCP, URL configured using the command, and URL obtained through the registration query center.
If you run this command multiple times, only the latest configuration takes effect.
When both the controller url command and the controller ip-address 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.

Example
