FAQ

As you probably know, the eNSP, for some and other reason, is not supported anymore and disappeared from Huawei’s website.

But I do have it, so if you need to download it, you get a saved version from me.

The shared package contains all the necessary components for the NSP to work properly.

So feel free to download the working version of Huawei Enterprise Simulation Platform.

Once you have eNSP installed, there is nothing stopping you from using it, by purchasing my HCIA course on Udemy, which you can find now at a promotional price until December 13th.

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

If a router wants you to know something, it wants you to know right now!

Let’s look what will happen if you are entering a long command and the device wants you to be informed about a link’s failure:

[Huawei-acl-adv-3000]rule 10 permit ip vpn-instance vpn_labnario source 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.255 destination 1.1.1.2

IP on the interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 has entered the DOWN state.
^
Error:Incomplete command found at '^' position.

When you click ‘Enter’ you will have to write the command once again. It is frustrating for all network administrators.

Unfortunately we cannot change it, like on Cisco’s devices, by ‘logging synchronous‘ command.
