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.

We also have on the network:

• HP 2810 Ethernet Switch Management Interface
• Dell Remote Access Card for VMWare server
• VMWare management interface
• Power Controller (APC7902)
• Serial Controller (IBM X330 + Obsolete Cyclades multi-port serial card)
