• Select “Enable native IP” from the list of management actions the user

is authorized to perform on the device.

• Use ssh to execute the nativeipon command directly using the

device alias:

ssh username:device_alias@192.168.1.1 nativeipon

Accessing Native Features for Example 2

After enabling native IP access, the user can access one of the desired native

features that may be available on the device, including:

• A native web application, which may be accessed in one of the following

ways:

• In the Web Manager on the OnBoard, clicking the “Go to native web

interface” link on the Access Devices screen.

• On the user’s workstation, entering the IP address or DNS-resolvable

name of the device in a browser.

• On the user’s workstation, on the command line, entering the ssh

command with the name/alias of the device along with the IP address

of the OnBoard side address for the subnet where the device resides.

For example, see the following ssh command line entered by the

user named “allSPs” to access “sp2” on the private subnet whose

OnBoard side IP address is 192.168.1.1.

ssh -t allSPs:sp2@192.168.1.1

• A management application, which may be accessed in one of the

following ways, depending whether the application is a client on the

user’s workstation or resides on the service processor:

• If the management application resides on the user's workstation, by

bringing it up from there.

• If the management application resides on the service processor, and is

an executable that can be invoked on the command line, by accessing

the service processor’s console first in one of the following two ways:

• Invoking ssh with the spconsole command in the following

format

ssh -t allSPs:sp2@192.168.1.1 spconsole
