Native IP operations using SSH Commands

Admin users can create Native IP trusts and open Native IP connections with SSH commands.
Admin users can specify what IP addresses from which interfaces are trusted to bring up direct
connection to service processors.
To login to the MergePoint appliance console as admin user:
You may log in to the MergePoint appliance with any of the SSH clients, such as PuTTY tool,
SecureCRT tool or OpenSSH client. The following command examples use the OpenSSH client
under a Linux terminal.
Run the command by entering the following:
username@MergePoint_IP_or_DNS_name
For example:
admin@MergePoint:~$ ssh -t admin@172.26.25.173
To enable selective mode:
Run the command by entering the following:
0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
To add a Native IP trust:
Run the command by entering the following:
<native_IP_Trust>/<netmask> dev <interface>
For example, to allow direct connection from 172.X.X.X network segment to service processors:
admin@MergePoint:~$ nativeipctl truston 172.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 dev eth0
For example, to allow direct connection from host 192.168.0.1 to service processors:
admin@MergePoint:~$ nativeipctl truston 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.255 dev
eth0
NOTE: The parameter dev defines the interface that all the connections should go through. If the interface is
eth0, then only the connections through eth0 are allowed to be set up.
To list all the available trusts by command:
Run the command by entering the following:
trusts
admin@MergePoint:~$ ssh -t
admin@MergePoint:~$ nativeipctl truston
admin@MergePoint:~$ nativeipctl truston
admin@MergePoint:~$ nativeipctl list
