OAP Card Configuration
The S7500E Series Ethernet Switches are distributed devices supporting Intelligent Resilient
Framework (IRF). Two S7500E series can be connected together to form a distributed IRF device. If
an S7500E series is not in any IRF, it operates as a distributed device; if the S7500E series is in an
IRF, it operates as a distributed IRF member device. For introduction of IRF, refer to IRF Configuration
Guide.

OAP Card Overview
Open Application Platform (OAP) cards are a series of products developed by H3C based on the Open
Application Architecture (OAA) of H3C. The S7500E series support multiple types of OAP cards such
as IPS, ACG, FW, NS, LB, AFC and AFD.
An OAP card runs an independent CPU and storage medium to load software of different functions.
Meanwhile, after an OAP card is installed into the switch, it can quickly implement applications such as
security and wireless control, which satisfies users’ diversified needs. In this way, different types of
applications can be integrated into one device, thus facilitating network and services deployment and
greatly reducing cost at the same time.
Configuring an OAP Card
Logging In to the Software System of an OAP Card Through the Switch
You can redirect to the operating system of an OAP card from the switch after the OAP card is installed
on the switch. In this way, the terminal display interface will be switched from the command line
interface on the switch to the operating interface of the software system on the OAP card, and you can
manage the system and application software of the OAP card on the switch. After the operating
interface switch, you can press Ctrl+K to return to the command line interface on the switch.
Follow the step to redirect from the switch to the software system on the OAP card:
