Table  15-20: HTTP Remote Hosts Table Parameter Descriptions 
Parameter  Description 
Index 
rest-servers 
[HTTPRemoteHosts_Remote
Hostindex] 
Defines an index number for the new table row.  
Note: 
  Each row must be configured with a unique index. 
  The parameter is mandatory. 
Name 
[HTTPRemoteHosts_Name] 
Defines a descriptive name, which is used when associating the row 
in other tables. 
The valid value is a string of up to 40 characters. By default, no value 
is defined.  
Note: 
  Each row must be configured with a unique name. 
  The parameter is mandatory. 
Address 
rest-address 
[HTTPRemoteHosts_Address] 
Defines the address (IP address or FQDN) of the remote host.  
The valid value is a string of up to 80 characters.  
Note:  
  An IPv6 address can only be configured if the interface is a 
CONTROL type. 
  If the address is an FQDN and the DNS resolution results in 
multiple IP addresses, the device device attempts to establish 
multiple connections (sessions) for each IP address. Only the first 
10 resolved IP addresses are used regardless of the number of 
hosts. 
  FQDN resolution is also performed (immediately) when 
connection is subsequently "closed" (by timeout or by the remote 
host) and connections are updated accordingly. In addition, the 
device periodically (every 15 minutes) performs DNS name 
resolution to ensure that the list of resolved IP addresses has not 
changed. If a change is detected, the device updates its' list of IP 
addresses and re-establishes connections accordingly. 
  In addition to multiple HTTP sessions, the device establishes 
multiple (TCP) connections per session, thereby enhancing data 
exchange capabilities with the host. 
Port 
rest-port  
[HTTPRemoteHosts_Port] 
Defines the port of the host. 
The valid value is 0 to 65535. The default is 80. 
Interface 
rest-interface 
[HTTPRemoteHosts_Interface
] 
Assigns one of the device's IP network interfaces through which 
communication with the remote host is done.  
By default, no value is defined and the OAMP interface is used. 
Transport Type 
rest-transport-type 
[HTTPRemoteHosts_HTTPTr
ansportType] 
Defines the protocol for communicating with the remote host: 
  [0] HTTP (default) 
  [1] HTTPS 
Status 
http-host-state 
 (Read-only) Displays the status of the connection with the remote 
host. 
  "Connected": The hosts is connected. 
  "Disconnected": The host is disconnected.
