HPE Comware Configuration and Implementation Fundamentals (HQ7C2S) - Lab Topology

 

Lab Topology

Lab Activity 1: Accessing HPE vLabs
  • Connect to HPE vLabs
  • Connect to the 5945 switches, server, and client
Lab Activity 2: Basic Setup
  • Define the HPE Comware switch password and host name
  • Explore the HPE Comware CLI
  • Set up and configure required interfaces
  • Assign an IP address to the VLAN 1 interface
  • Access the switches using REST APIs
  • Check basic connectivity
Lab Activity 3: Protecting Management Access
  • Define super passwords on HPE Comware switches
  • Restrict privileges for certain users
  • Set up SSH access on HPE Comware switches and allow access by various users
  • Use password control
Lab Activity 4: Managing Software and Configurations
  • Access the boot ROM menu
  • Perform password recovery on HPE Comware switches
  • Manage files in flash memory on HPE Comware switches

Lab Activity 10: Access Control Lists (ACLs)
  • Add a guest VLAN and guest user
  • Enable QoS and ACL hardware resource mode
  • Configure a basic access control list (ACL) to protect the server VLAN
  • Control all traffic routed out of the guest VLAN with an advanced ACL
Lab Activity 11: Quality of Service (QoS)
  • Enable QoS and ACL hardware resource mode
  • Establish a baseline of behavior without congestion
  • Generate congestion and observe the effects on traffic
  • Prioritize all traffic on a given port
  • Prioritize traffic by application
Lab Activity 12: HPE Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF)
  • Establish an HPE Intelligent Resilient Framework topology
  • Configure distributed link aggregation
  • Restore your original configurations
