Example for Configuring a Switch to Communicate with iMaster NCE-Campus

Networking Requirements

On an enterprise network shown in Figure 1, the Huawei iMaster NCE-Campus is used by the administrator to configure and manage switches, improving network configuration and maintenance efficiency.

Figure 1 Enterprise network topology

Configuration Roadmap

Configure NETCONF connections between iMaster NCE-Campus and switches, so that the administrator can configure and manage the switches using NETCONF. The following uses SwitchA as an example. The configurations of SwitchB are similar to those of SwitchA, and are not mentioned here.

Configure interfaces and VLANs. Ensure that reachable routes are available between switches and iMaster NCE-Campus. The configuration procedure is not provided here.
Configure NETCONF on switches.
Configure iMaster NCE-Campus.

Procedure

Configure interfaces and VLANs.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
[SwitchA] vlan batch 10
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 10
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
[SwitchA] interface Vlanif10
[SwitchA-Vlanif10] ip address 192.168.10.1 24
[SwitchA-Vlanif10] quit

Configure NETCONF on SwitchA.

[SwitchA] netconf
[SwitchA-netconf] source ip 192.168.10.1
[SwitchA-netconf] callhome controller
[SwitchA-netconf-callhome-controller] ip address 192.168.30.1 port 10020   //The port number must be the same as that used by iMaster NCE-Campus.
[SwitchA-netconf-callhome-controller] return

Configure iMaster NCE-Campus.
1. Log in to the GUI of iMaster NCE-Campus as follows: Open Internet Explorer and enter the access address of iMaster NCE-Campus in the address box. On the login page, enter the user name and password to log in to iMaster NCE-Campus.
2. On SwitchA, run the display esn command in any view to obtain its ESN.
```
<SwitchA> display esn
ESN of slot 0: 2102350DMP10XXXXXXXX
```
3. Choose Design > Site Agile Deployment> > Device Management / Device Management, click Add Device, configure Device name and Device ESN, and click OK. SwitchA is added.
4. Refresh the page several seconds later. If Status of SwitchA is Normal, SwitchA can communicate with iMaster NCE-Campus normally.
