Setup / Staging Huawei Device V600 OS before added to Huawei NCE Campus

This is a staging setup for the Huawei switch device V600 OS-based (Taishan OS) before being added to the NCE Campus Controller.

First, we configure the Netconf feature in the switch (for connection to the NCE Controller).

snetconf server enable
ssh user huawei
ssh user huawei authentication-type x509v3-rsa
ssh user huawei assign pki default
y

Then, we set the source interface for this Netconf connection type to the NCE controller. In this case, we set all interfaces allowed to use Netconf.

ssh user huawei service-type snetconf
ssh server-source all-interface
y

It’s important to import the PKI certificate to use this Netconf connection to the NCE Campus in the V600 switch base.

ssh server assign pki default
ssh authorization-type default root
ssh server publickey x509v3-ssh-rsa rsa_sha2_256 rsa_sha2_512

pki-import-certificate default ca realm default

Finally, we can set up the connection to the NCE Campus Controller under the Netconf protocol.

netconf
 callhome imaster-nce
 endpoint imaster-nce
 peer-ip [ip_address_NCE_Controller_Server]

Also, you can make sure first that the switch can make a ping to the IP Address NCE Controller server before starting the setup.
