3 1 Product Overview The Dell Networking Operating System (OS) Emulator is a virtualized environment where you can create simple network topologies and test various features of the Dell Networking OS. The virtual environment allows you to get familiar with the command line interface (CLI) without having access to a physical device. Note: The Dell Networking Emulator is not intended to provide a complete emulation of a Dell switch hardware. It can only supplement, but not replace, training or testing on physical devices 1.1 Lab Preparation Considerations and Caveats It is in your best interests to ensure the demo environment you will be demonstrating is clean & tidy before you begin. For this reason we would recommend, where possible, you log in to your demo at least 15 minutes prior to delivery and check the following; 1. Familiarize yourself with the environment during this time and check any specific features you are expecting to demo. 2. Most importantly, be crystal clear with yourself on what it is you plan to show. A full demo of every feature described below (with questions) can take several hours. If you only have a short time slot be sure to focus on the key points that address the customer s pain points and will drive value home to them. 3. Ensure that you have scheduled the demo for sufficient time so as not to have the demo end before you are finished with the customer. 3 Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016

2.1.3 Element Access Once you have selected and launched the URL link provided via your demo booking e-mail you will be logged into your environment.

6 2.1.3 Element Access Once you have selected and launched the URL link provided via your demo booking you will be logged into your environment. On the desktop of the demo machine please check and ensure there is a shortcut for the VMware vsphere client. You will be using the client throughout the demo to access the emulator and windows 7 virtual machines. The desktop should look similar to the image below:- To access the environment please launch the VMware vsphere client from the shortcut provided on the desktop. When the client has launched please enter the vcenter username and password provided on the Demo Homepage. 6 Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016

Note: The ip address should be left as the default that appears when the vsphere Client is launched. Once logged into the environment expand the Templates resource pool.

7 Note: The ip address should be left as the default that appears when the vsphere Client is launched. Once logged into the environment expand the Templates resource pool. In the resource pool there are two virtual machines: There machines are labelled: - emulator-template - win7-template The emulator template has been pre-configured with a management interface and six data ports. During the example walk-through we will create various vswitches to enable the completion of the scenario in the following steps. This information can be view under the Resources section on the Summary view of the virtual machine: 7 Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016

9 3 OSPF Using OS 9 Emulator Example 3.1 How to use the Emulator Environment The following scenario will walk through an example of how the environment provided can be used for learning and customer demonstration purposes. It will provide step by step detail on how to set up and configure the emulator and interact with the emulator and windows 7 virtual machines through the VMware vsphere client. Note: This example is provided as a guide on how the emulator can be used. It does not cover all the capabilities available within the OS 9 emulator. If you would like to try other features of OS 9 within this environment please consult the OS 9 product and administration guides available at Note: The release notes for the emulator are provided with the environment. These can be used to explore and understand the more advanced configurations. The demonstration scenario we are going to deploy is a simple OSPF configuration. We will test the setup by attaching a VM on a port of each emulator and routing traffic between the two VM s. Please see the diagram below detailing the setup we will build: 9 Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016

10 3.1.1 Pre-requisite Information The table below details the ip addressing needed to complete the configuration steps that follow. Please reference this table when configure the ip interfaces on the routers and test vm s. Note: The ip addressing scheme used in the example does not need to be followed. It is at your discretion what scheme to use. Hostname EM- ROUTER01 Interface Forty 0/0 IP Addressing Interface Forty 0/4 IP Addressing Local Area Connection / /24 N/A Default Gateway EM / /24 N/A ROUTER02 Client 01 N/A N/A / Client 02 N/A N/A / Configure and Test OSPF using Emulator The following section will walk-through the various tasks needed to complete the setup. Let s get started. 1. To complete the necessary configuration we will need to clone two copies of the emulatortemplate and two copies of the win7-template vm. The following sections will outline the steps required. Note: An example of cloning the emulator machine is shown. Please repeat the steps for the additional emulator vm and two windows 7 vm s. 2. Right click on the emulator-template vm and select Clone 10 Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016

22 v. Now we will enter into configuration mode and change the hostname of the emulator. Dell#config Dell(conf)#hostname EM-ROUTER01 vi. Next we will configure the interfaces required for communication with the local windows 7 client (test-vm01) and EM-ROUTER01 and between EM- ROUTER01 and EM-ROUTER02. Please enter the following commands in configuration mode: EM-ROUTER01(conf)#inter for 0/0 EM-ROUTER01(conf-if-fo-0/0)#description uplink-to-em-router02 EM-ROUTER01(conf-if-fo-0/0)#ip address /30 EM-ROUTER01(conf-if-fo-0/0)#no shutdown EM-ROUTER01(conf-if-fo-0/0)#interface for 0/4 EM-ROUTER01(conf-if-fo-0/4)# description uplink-to-test-vm01 EM-ROUTER01(conf-if-fo-0/4)# ip address /24 EM-ROUTER01(conf-if-fo-0/4)#no shutdown EM-ROUTER01(conf-if-fo-0/4)#no keepalive Note: Please repeat the sub items contained in step number 3 for router EM-ROUTER02. The ip addressing details for router EM-ROUTER02 can be found in the Demo Example section at the start of the document. 15. Once the configuration has been applied to the routers we need to configure the OSPF settings to enable dynamic routing. Please enter configuration mode on EM-ROUTER01 and EM-ROUTER02 a. Apply the following configuration to M-ROUTER01 EM-ROUTER01(conf)#router ospf 1 EM-ROUTER01(conf-router_ospf-1)#router-id EM-ROUTER01(conf-router_ospf-1)#network /30 area 0 EM-ROUTER01(conf-router_ospf-1)#network /24 area 0 b. Apply the following configuration to EM-ROUTER02 EM-ROUTER02(conf)#router ospf 1 EM-ROUTER02(conf-router_ospf-1)#router-id EM-ROUTER02(conf-router_ospf-1)#network /30 area 0 EM-ROUTER02(conf-router_ospf-1)#network /24 area 0 22 Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016

23 c. You can check that OSPF in configured correctly by running the following commands on both routers and reviewing the output. If successful the output show look similar to the images below. EM-ROUTER01# show ip ospf neighbor EM-ROUTER01# show ip route 23 Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016

24 16. Now the router configuration is complete the next step is to apply the necessary network configuration for test-vm01 and test-vm02. The addressing information can be found in the table at the start of the guide. Launch the test-vm01 console window a. From within the vm console window launch Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Networking and Sharing Center b. Select the Change adapter settings 24 Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016

Select Use the following IP address: and enter the ip address information relevant for the vm.

25 c. Right click on the Local Area Connection and select Properties d. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and Properties e. A properties window appears. Select Use the following IP address: and enter the ip address information relevant for the vm. These can be found at the beginning of the guide f. Please repeat the process for test-vm02 apply the correct ip addressing details to its network interface. 25 Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016

26 17. Now all the necessary configuration has been applied to the routers and test vm s we can validate our routing configuration is correct. To test the configuration works correctly please go to the vsphere Client Console on test-vm01 a. Open a command prompt and enter a ping command that trys to get a response from test-vm02 e.g. ping If the lab is configured correctly you will get a response from the ip interface on test-vm Dell Demo Center Dell Inc., 2016
