Operator Login with ClearPass TACACS+
This post is all about operator login with ClearPass. I show the implementation of authenticating a network operator to Aruba Switches, Comware based switches, Aruba Controller and AirWave. For some devices, I will show the process with TACACS+. For those, which do not support TACACS+, I use radius authentication, which I describe in a later […]
VXLAN WAN and IPSec
I did this post for two reasons. First I would like to demonstrate the possibility to extend a layer 2 network with VXLAN over a WAN connection and second to show the configuration of two VSR routers creating an IPSec tunnel with one router being on a dynamic IP address. The reason for me, to […]
How to: IPSec Tunnel with dynamic IP’s
In this post I would like to show how I created an IPSec tunnel between my lab and my workstation. I have a static IP only for my lab, but not for the workstation and I was looking for an easy way to interconnect both to do some wireless testing without sitting in the noisy […]
How To: Configure SNMPv3
In this post, I will describe how you can configure SNMPv3 on comware based and provision based switches. SNMP is used by management systems to monitor and configure network devices. As the information which are send and received by the SNMP speaking devices could be sensitive, you should have security in place to protect the […]
How To: Tacacs Device Authentication
This post will show, how to configure Tacacs device authentication in iMC TAM, on a comware device and on a provision based device.

How To: MSM with UAM Captive Portal
This time I would like to show, how to use the UAM captive portal with the MSM solution. As the MSM solution did not support the portal protocol, which is used to transfer all the necessary information from the UAM captive portal server to the access device, we have to use at least one comware […]
How to: Install the HP VSR Router in ESX...
Today, I would like to show the installation of the HP VSR (Virtual Service Router) on an ESXi host. It should also work for ESX. The VSR is a virtual router, running on VMWare and KVM. It will also run in VMWare player and workstation without consuming a lot of resources, which makes it ideal […]
