About cloud connections
A cloud connection is a management tunnel established between a local device and the H3C cloud server. It enables you to manage the local device from the cloud server without accessing the network where the device resides.
Multiple subconnections
After a local device establishes a connection with the cloud server, service modules on the local device can establish multiple subconnections with the microservices on the cloud server. These subconnections are independent from each other and provide separate communication channels for different services. This mechanism avoids interference among different services.
Cloud connection establishment
The cloud connection is established as follows:
1. The device sends an authentication request to the cloud server.
2. The cloud server sends an authentication success packet to the device.
The device passes the authentication only if the serial number of the device has been added to the cloud server. If the authentication fails, the cloud server sends an authentication failure packet to the device.
3. The device sends a registration request to the cloud server.
4. The cloud server sends a registration response to the device.
The registration response contains the uniform resource locator (URL) used to establish a cloud connection.
5. The device uses the URL to send a handshake request (changing the protocol from HTTP to WebSocket) to the cloud server.
6. The cloud server sends a handshake response to the device to finish establishing the cloud connection.
7. The device sends a subconnection URL request to the cloud server.
8. The cloud server sends a response that contains the microservice list and all subconnection URLs to the device.
9. The service module registers on the cloud connection management module.
10. The cloud connection management module sends the corresponding URLs to the service module.
11. The service module establishes subconnections with the cloud server.

About configuring a cloud connection
For a successful cloud connection establishment, specify the domain name of the cloud server and map the IP address of the cloud server to the domain name.
After establishing the cloud connection, the local device sends keepalive packets to the cloud server periodically. If the device does not receive a response from the cloud server within three keepalive intervals, the device sends a registration request to re-establish the cloud connection.
Prerequisites
Add the serial number of the device to be managed to the cloud server.
Configure DNS to ensure that the domain name of the cloud server can be translated into an IP address.
Procedure
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Configure the domain name of the cloud server.
cloud-management server domain domain-name
By default, the domain name of the cloud server is not configured.
3. Set the keepalive interval.
cloud-management keepalive interval
By default, the keepalive interval is 180 seconds.
Display and maintenance commands for cloud connections
Execute display commands in any view and reset commands in user view.

Network configuration
As shown in Figure 2, configure the device to establish a cloud connection with the cloud server.
Procedure
1. Configure IP addresses for interfaces, and configure a routing protocol to ensure that the devices can reach each other. (Details not shown.)
2. Log in to the cloud server to add the serial number of the device to the server. (Details not shown.)
The IP address of the cloud server is 10.1.1.1/24 and the domain name is cloud.com.
3. Configure the domain name of the cloud server as cloud.com.
<Device> system-view
[Device] cloud-management server domain cloud.com
# Map IP address 10.1.1.1 to host name cloud.com.
[Device] ip host cloud.com 10.1.1.1
Verifying the configuration
# Verify that the device and the cloud server have established a cloud connection.
[Device] display cloud-management state
Cloud connection state : Established
Device state : Request_success
Cloud server address : 10.1.1.1
Cloud server domain name : cloud.com
Cloud server port : 443
