Virtual Chassis Alcatel

[Carlota Sproul]

Configuresthe virtual fabric link (VFL) and member ports for the VFL. Do the same for all five switches. VFL is an aggregate of high-speed ports used, between the peers, for inter-chassis traffic and control data through the IPC-VLAN.

Initiate the conversion from Stand-alone switch to Virtual-chassis switch mode. This will use a dedicated directory for virtual chassis configuration (SecureTTL) to keep working directory for stand-alone mode.

Designed for networks needing extremely low latency, compact, non-blocking core switches and reliable data center infrastructure.

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6900 is your compact, secure core switch and data center switch, featuring virtual chassis capabilities to simplify management. These high-density switches are designed for demanding software-defined operations.

Meet and exceed the needs of extremely high demand data centre or campus networks Converge physical and virtualized data centre operations Provide Autonomous Network with fully automated layer 2 and layer 3 network operations. Enhance your network security with profile-based segmentation and traffic filtering policies

What I need is a way to practice commands and experiment with configurations in a safe sandboxed environment. Does anybody know of a virtual appliance or simulator that I can use as a sandbox for increasing my alcatel skills and for sandboxing configurations I may want to implement?

The Srlab is supposedly based on the 7 series service carrier provider router, The only other router that I know of that will offer the DBC/SPB will be the 10k possibly the 9000E. Supposedly a new 6900 will be coming out next year some time that they are beefing up.

Experience superior performance with the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6865 Ethernet Switch. This Hardened Ethernet LAN Switches offers an ideal solution for mission-critical applications that need to operate at extreme temperatures and meet stringent EMC/EMI requirements. A high-performance rugged switch that can be stacked to form a virtual chassis, it is designed to be deployed in transportation and traffic control systems, power utilities, video surveillance and other outdoor installations. Features such as SPB support and intelligent auto-provisioning ensure a fast, scalable and cost-efficient way of rolling out services at the edge.

This article describes the first steps of evaluating a new routing appliance for GNS3. First steps described on how to configure and operate a TiMOS virtual router appliance from Nokia, Alcatel/Lucent, called 7750 SR. SR stands for Service Router.Nokia, Alcatel Lucent virtual router chassis.

This is the limit of available ethernet ports can if running the virtual 7750 SR router appliance. Additionally this particular appliance reboots every 60 minutes resulting in reset of the configuration.

Trying to configure the installed interfaces would fail on the port binding procedure because router ports are in shutdown state:Verifying the interface status with the show port command:

At Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, we make everything connect by delivering technology that works for you. Our vision is to deliver the customized technology experiences our customers need. Our mission is to make everything connect by delivering digital age networking, communications and cloud solutions with services tailored for your business success. In the Cloud. On Premises. Hybrid.

Thanks to its virtual chassis capability, intelligent Fabric (iFab) technology and the OmniVista network management platform, the solution is easily deployed and managed, on-premises or in the cloud. It improves and simplifies datacenter operations and security. It reduces manual operations with automated processes, thus increasing efficiency and decreasing the risk of human error.

The Alcatel OmniSwitch 6900 40/100G 4X10/25G 1U LAN Switch is designed for companies needing extremely low latency, compact, non-blocking architecture switches that deliver high-performance, scalable, secure and reliable infrastructure. This high-density switch is engineered to be flexible for the most demanding software-defined operations in virtualized or physical networks. It stays online and operational with power supply redundancy, hot-swappable components, in-service software upgrades and virtual chassis technology.

As you remember (or if you have read provided links just now), the service provider routers are modular, regardless of Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent), Cisco, Juniper or whatever else origin. Certainly there are some small devices, which have fixed configuration and are used, when limited amount of interfaces and media types is sufficient.

The main document that provides information about staffing of Nokia (Alcate-Lucent) VSR is release notes. You can download them from the official website, but you need to have account. There are no any specific rights, so you can just create general access account you will have access to this documentation.

In the sake of completeness, Cisco is going in the direction of distributes solution as well, but current IOS XRv 9000 deployment supports only single, so performance is limited to this single VM and assigned CPU Core/Memory/network interfaces.

The newest (11.04.2017) version of VSR changes the rules of writing TIMOS. Now there is no mapping to physical devices and Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent) VSR is fully independent product. It has its own chassis type, IOMs and MDAs. Here is the example:

Cisco XRv 9000 is predefined product and the only thing that you can tune is the number of interfaces that it has. You can do it either through modification of vmx file or just by adding them in your VM player:

As before, you can have only have chassis type SR-c4 and SR-c12 and aslo SR-1 as integrated, so to use one virtual machine for both, control plane and data plane. In case of all other chassis type, you need to have extra virtual machine per card.

Hope it helps. Note, that in case of distributed model, you need to have MTU on connecting virbr 9000 that can be sometimes tricky to achieve. And than R16 Timos need 4G of ram for CPM, but 6G of ram for xcm-7s and 8G of ram for xcm-14s.

All details can be seen in install guide. But hope those info can help to create lab faster and with less reading effort.

NAV 5.8 finally adds SNMPv3 support, although it is not yet 100%feature-complete. A new management profile type has been added specificallyfor SNMPv3. SNMPv3 management requires a host of configuration attributes,whereas v1/v2c only requires a community string.

Additionally, if a device only has write-enabled SNMP management profilesattached to it, NAV will now try to use those also for read operations. Ifyour SNMPv3 profile supports both reading and writing, you should be able toget by with a single profile per device.

PortAdmin has gained supported for enabling/disabling Power-over-Ethernet onJuniper and Cisco switches. The available configuration options will vary fromdevice to device and vendor to vendor, so the available presets will simply bepresented for selection in a dropdown menu if PoE support is detected on adevice.

The external authentication integration system (popularly namedREMOTE_USER) has gained a new toggle autocreate in the[remote-user] section of webfront/webfront.conf. This option isFalse by default, meaning that externally authenticated users will not beallowed to use NAV unless they have already been pre-created in the user adminpanel.

This changes the old behavior, in where any unknown user referenced in theREMOTE_USER header by the web server is automatically created in NAV. Ifyou need the old functionality, you need to set this option to True.

Juniper devices have a concept of chassis and system alarms (e.g. a failing PSUmight trigger such an alert). Alarms are categorized as either yellow orred alarms, depending on the running hardware and operating system.

Juniper provides SNMP MIBs to poll information about the current number ofalarms of each category, but does not provide for fetching information aboutindividual active alerts. To get details about ongoing alarms, one usuallyneeds to access the device CLI to get the current status.

The prefix API endpoint has been updated to include a newcontains_address filter. This can be used to filter prefixes based onwhether they contain specific addresses. To search for prefixes that matchsingle IP addresses, a host mask can be used. E.g., to get all prefixes thatmatch a single host 10.0.0.42, query for 10.0.0.42/32, like/api/1/prefix/?contains_address=10.0.0.42%2F32.
