Understanding Huawei OPS and HTTP Communication

????What is Huawei OPS?

HuaweiOpen Programmability System (OPS)enablesAPI-based network automationusing standardHTTP requests.

It supportsNETCONF, RESTCONF, and RESTful APIsfordevice management.

????Why TCP Port 80?

Port 80is thedefault port for HTTP traffic.

Used forweb-based device management, API calls, and telemetry data exchange.

IfHTTPS (secure version) is used, the default port is 443.

Why is the Answer 80?

✅HTTP operates on TCP port 80 by default.

✅Huawei OPS uses HTTP APIs to manage network devices, making port 80 the standard option.

Real-World Application:

Cloud-Native Network Automation:UsesHTTP-based APIs for SDN controllers and automation tools.

Network Device Management:Enablesremote configuration and monitoring over HTTP APIs.
