PowerSwitch

  • PowerSwitch devices use the Observability Collector to collect the data from the switches and send the data back to Observability using Secure Connect Gateway. The collector is a vApp that is downloaded from the Admin > Collectors menu in the Observability user-interface or from support.dell.com. Then, it must be installed locally in the data center. The Collector must be running v1.11.0 or later.

    After the Collector vApp is deployed, the collector is configured to communicate to the Secure Connect Gateway and PowerSwitch devices by accessing the collector using a web browser:  https://<collector hostname or IP>.

    Communication between the Collector and the switches is done using REST API. The following guidelines can be used to verify and enable the RESTCONF API service for each PowerSwitch.

    To verify mode:

    OS10# show switch-operating mode
    Switch-Operating-Mode : Full Switch Mode

    Enter Configuration mode:

    OS10# configure terminal
    OS10(config)#

    Enable RESTCONF API:

    OS10(config)# rest api restconf
    OS10(config)# exit

    Note: For SONiC, RESTCONF API is enabled by default.

    It is recommended to use a user account with netoperator privileges.
