How to have the remote console access to the Synergy 40Gb F8 VC switch from OneView?

[pgarcia3]

Hi, 

I would like to have the console access to the Synergy 40Gb F8 VC switch to check/configure the switch configuration/integration with outside TOR switch. 

Any clue how to connect to the switch?

There is a read-only command line available-- but any Synergy Virtual Connect interconnect module may only be configured using the Composer.

We are running the HPE Synergy 40Gb F8 switch, and there is a command line interface which we would like to use to check the settings done by OneView as well as the informations from the remote side, e.g. show ehterchannel summary, etc. 

Any clue on how to access such console interface?

Open your OneView, and assuming it is a newer version, you can enable the netop user from the GUI on a per interconnect basis from the Interconnect page. Go to the Online Help within OneView and search 'netop' for the details.

Else if you have older version of OneView, that doesn't have this option, you will have to use the REST API.

Go to the online refernece from Rest API and search netop for those details.

The network operator (netop) account provides access to an advanced read-only CLI interface on the interconnect.
