The idea is to retrieve data from router without need to login to router's web interface.
What kind of data?
I have some use case for personal use, such as
- Watching connected device
- Internet uptime statistic which related to total downtime
- Easier access to restart router
First, need to get information of SSH capability of this device. After reading many reviews and Huawei website itself, such service should be enabled and not available by default.
1. Login to router's Web app (user: Epuser , password: XXXXXX look at sticker label at back of device, each is different)
2. Enable SSH service (Maintenance/Security/Precise Device Access Control)
3. Testing connection
Open windows command prompt and do SSH. To login can only use Eproot and password is one that previously defined in step 2.
There are many command available in provided shell but no online documentation even from Huawei itself. It could be customized by each ISP to prevent misuses.
Conclusion? we can access internal router and its operationg system (Dopra linux kernel).
Looking into available command above and test-tried shell responses, all uses cases mentioned above is achieveable. Can't wait to experiment more to get data and visualized in monitoring like Grafana ^_^
