Labnario Huawei From Scratch

We have been waiting and finally we have a simulator of Huawei firewall USG5500. They also added WDS function of WLAN and a new simulation device of WLAN – AC6605.

I am just downloading the newest version…

For those who are interested I am sending a link to it:

Let’s imagine that we have a simple topology like below:

Configure subinterfaces on both AR routers for VLAN tag termination:

[R1]interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0.100
[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/0.100]ip address 10.0.0.1 24
[R1-GigabitEthernet0/0/0.100]dot1q termination vid 100

[R2]int GigabitEthernet 0/0/0.100
[R2-GigabitEthernet0/0/0.100]ip address 10.0.0.2 24
[R2-GigabitEthernet0/0/0.100]dot1q termination vid 100

Try to ping IP address of neighboring router:

[R1]ping 10.0.0.2
  PING 10.0.0.2: 56  data bytes, press CTRL_C to break
    Request time out
    Request time out
    Request time out
    Request time out
    Request time out

  --- 10.0.0.2 ping statistics ---
    5 packet(s) transmitted
    0 packet(s) received
    100.00% packet loss

And we have 2014 …

I hope you are doing well.

First of all, I’d like to thank you for your comments and suggestions. Not always I have time to respond for all your emails or comments but believe that all are appreciated. I maintain this blog after work but having 2 small absorbing children, it is not easy to reply for all your emails or even prepare a new post. I’ll do my best to publish new interesting and informative articles in the new year.

I believe that this year will be better for all of us.

So, let’s start 2014 with a new Huawei eNSP release:

A new version of Huawei eNSP has been released.

What’s new in V100R001C00B210 version?

Based on a release notes for the newest eNSP:

Some time ago we talked about a basic configuration of BGP/MPLS VPNs. Let’s go on with hub&spoke networking today. Such solution can be adopted to control the mutual access of users, when an access control device is set. In this case no direct route exists between spoke sites. A spoke site advertises routes to a hub site and then the hub site advertises the routes to other spoke sites. Thus, communication between spoke sites is controlled by hub site.

Let’s look at our topology:
