Establishing a WebSocket secure connection using a script

Prerequisites

Access to the switch REST API must be enabled. The REST API access mode can be either read-only or read/write.

Procedure
  • If you are using a script, you must include the actions to log in, get the session cookie, store the session cookie, and pass the session cookie with the WebSocket secure connection request.
  • When you create the WebSocket secure connection, use the following URL:
    wss://<IP-ADDR>/rest/v1/notification
    
    <IP-ADDR> is the IP address of the switch.

    For example:

    wss://192.0.2.5/rest/v1/notification
    
  • The exact methods to use to create connections and handle notification messages depend on the scripting language and library module you choose.
