    Hi everyone,

    I'm new within Airheads community and I'm preparing to get the ACSAv1 certificate basically using the official study guide. But, actually I need to find a platform where I could simulate the switching labs presented in the training, a platform in which switches such as 3800 and 5400R series can be simulated with no need for real equipments.

    For example, for Cisco equipments we use GNS3, so what about Aruba? please help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

     

    There is no simulation software availible for the switching platforms.

    If you are an HPE Aruba partner please reach out to you local SE/Sales Rep and they may be able to assit you.

     

    Thank you,

    Hi Matthew,

    Thanks for your answer, at least I'm now sure there's no platforms that would help.  I'll go after another way and refer back to our local sales rep.

    I know this thread might be old, however i can see that EVE-NG now has Aruba CX Switch 

     

    https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documentation/howtos/howto-add-aruba-cx-switch/

     

    Maybe this is helpfull.

    Can someone propose to create ArubaOS for EVE-NG.

    Because I can practice Cisco, Arista, ClearPass and many other things in EVE-NG except ArubaOS

    https://nbctcp.wordpress.com/2015/07/02/unetlab-installation-on-esxi/

    Not everyone could afford to buy 3800 or 5400.

     

    Which cheapest switch model support ArubaOS?

     

    tq

    Hi Karima,
    We have made public our internal AOS-CX Switch simulator. If you are still interested, please visit our new Aruba AOS-CX Switch Simulator community.
    You will find information about downloading and installing, lab guides and more.

    Hi Karima,

    Unfortunately there is no development on ArubaOS for virtualisation like GNS3 of  EVE-NG. This is only developed for the next-generation ArubaOS-CX product line. Most students buy a small Aruba 2930F-8P what you can purchase for a high reduce price for training purpose when you work for an Aruba Partner. 

    Another thing you can use for training is Aruba Workbench SEEL Lab, where you can run real hardware in de Aruba demolab.

    For more information please contact your Aruba SE or Partner.
