Create a testing environment

[Phildawhale]

Hi all,

I posted previously and got a really helpful answer in moving my  "router on a stick" to using the HP Aruba Switch for routing. The customer wishes to proceed with this and so I'd like to get everything working in a software lab first.

Hardware: HP Switch 5412zl (J8698A)

Version: K.15.17.0012, ROM K.15.30

The other switches can be generic as they are only going to operate on L2.

Can I download a simulator of this switch for testing? I've installed HCL onto a test environment but can't find where to download specific devices. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil, The 5412 or similar switches don't have simulator support. HCL is is for all Comware based switches. Hope this helps!!!

Thanks Dobias,

It certainly helps in that I can't pre-test my setup. Any ideas what I might be able to do rather than just implement the changes to a production environment?

Do you have contacts with an Aruba SE? They can probably get you some temporary switches.
