![]() For this lab, I decided to go with two switches named cx-test1 and cx-test2, their configs will start out near identical. The official eve-ng documentation on adding AOS-CX virtual switches is great, I’m not going to go through the steps of getting these setup as their directions are better than anything I’d write. ![]() I’d recommend using the HTML5 console when accessing the admin workstation for a slicker experience, but you can keep using VNC on the legacy console if you’d like, they both produce the same end result. You can use just about any workstation & switch combination for this. EVE NG DOCUMENTATION WINDOWS 10It’s a plain Windows 10 workstation for getting into NetEdit’s webGUI, and a plain Juniper vMX switch using vlan 1 for forwarding packets between all the nodes. These are unchanged from the initial setup of my homelab. You’ll need to buy some Aruba stuff to get access into the downloads section of Aruba Support Portal, or become friends with someone that does to do this lab at home. Unfortunately Aruba does not make AOS-CX or NetEdit available for public download. I really like the concept behind NetEdit: a feature-rich fancy UI to do new-school EVPN VXLAN things, CLI change history for when you do old-school network things, and a change validation toolset to avoid bad things from entering production. That was over a month ago, and today is finally the day for long overdue cool AOS-CX stuff in my homelab! Let’s jump into Aruba’s fancy new NetEdit OVA and get it talking to a few AOS-CX virtual switches in the eve-ng instance, no ridiculous cloud tunneling stuff this time around. In the Initial Setup of my Google Cloud Platform (GCP) eve-ng instance, I blabbed on a lot about the tunnel between my condo’s homelab and GCP, saying I’d do cool stuff with ArubaOS-CX (AOS-CX) soon.
