For our example, we are configuring a HP 2810-48G switch. These commands should also work with the HP5400zl series.

Network Overview

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:

• Boss hosts the web interface, main testbed logic, and database.
• Users exports filesystems and acts as a general login machine.
• Router routes between the various networks.
