For our example, we are configuring a HP 2810-48G switch. These commands should also work with the HP5400zl series.
There are a number of different networks and hosts involved with a traditional Emulab setup.
For servers, we will have three machines hosted on a VMWare server:
| Port | Device |
| 1 | Uplink to Internet |
| 2 | Port for Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC) for the VMWare server (PowerEdge 2950) |
| 3 | Trunked port for the VMWare installation on the PowerEdge 2950 |
| 4 | APC 7902 Power Controller |
| 5 | Serial Controller (IBM X330 + Obsolete Cyclades multi-port serial card) |
| 6-9 | Control Network ports for our testbed nodes |
| VLAN | IP Range | Use |
| 2002 | Depends (our minibed is behind a NAT on 10.0.23.0/24) | Internet VLAN |
| 2003 | 192.168.0.0/22 | Control Network VLAN |
| 2004 | 192.168.254.0/24 | Control Hardware VLAN |
| 2005 | 192.168.253.0/24 | Users Network |
