Lab Objective
The lab will enable the user to gain hands on knowledge and experience in setup basic Campus 3 Tier Network with L2
Access VSX and OSPF
Switches such as the Aruba CX 6100 can be the L2 access switches with 6400 or 8000 series being the VSX and Campus
Core.
To simulate the L2 Access such as Aruba CX 6100 we will limit the features we use in the simulator to replicate this product,
such as using default VRF and static routing only.
For further details on Aruba CX switches and other features please refer to the latest Aruba documentation located on
https://asp.arubanetworks.com/
Lab Overview
This lab set up is as shown in Figure 1. This setup is of a Campus Three Tier network with L2 access to the VSX fabric and
then upstream to an OSPF core.
This lab builds upon the previous lab Part I Two Tier Layer 2 Access with VSX, and you will need the lab guide to this
previous network to help you complete this simulator lab.

Lab Guide
Campus 3 Tier. L2 Access with VSX and OSPF
At the end of the lab you will be able to observe a typical Three Tier Campus with the Layer 2 at the access with VSX and
OSPF . All User /End point VLANs functions will be attached to VSX Core with all VLANS trunked to the VSX Aggregation,
taking advantage of Multi Chassis LAG, and then we will use OSPF on the VSX Aggregation to provide reachability
upstream.
It is advisable to read the VSX best practice guide to gain a full understanding of this topology in conjunction to this lab guide
at https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00094242en_us

Lab Tasks
Task 1 – L2 Access and VSX

Please complete the lab titled “ Part I Campus 2 Tier L2 Access with VSX” to set up Switch A, B and C as well as VPC 1 and

Task 2 – Transit VLAN and IP on VSX Fabric
On Switch A and B Core configure:
• Set up a transit VLAN 4
SwitchA# SwitchB#
configure
vlan 4
vsx-sync
interface vlan 4 interface vlan 4
ip address 192.168.4.1/29 ip address 192.168.4.2/29
description Transit vlan description Transit vlan
In later tasks OSPF will be used, it is a best practice to create a dedicated Transit VLAN between the VSX primary and the
VSX secondary to exchange route information for subnets that are not attached to both VSX nodes. This dedicated Transit
VLAN 4 in this case provides better control and will not carry user data traffic in nominal situation or very limited in case of
east-west traffic between single-attached endpoints.
NOTE: For details of VSX best practice guide please refer to the following guide
https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00094242en_us
• Check IP connectivity between Switch A and B on Transit VLAN 4
SwitchA# ping 192.168.4.2

PING 192.168.4.2 (192.168.4.2) 100(128) bytes of data.
108 bytes from 192.168.4.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=12.0 ms
Task 3 – IP and OSPF on VSX Fabric
Here we will introduce point to point OSPF links to upstream switches as well as OSPF transit vlan between the VSX
switches
On Switch A and B VSX Fabric configure :
• IP interfaces and OSPF, for OSPF we will create a single backbone area

The best practice for OSPF cost is to have VSX primary <-> VSX secondary cost lower than Switch X <-> Switch Y cost, as
it is frequent that the ISL bandwidth is higher than the inter core devices bandwidth. In case of single-attachment subnet on
one of the VSX node and non-meshed topology, the traffic from core would be sent to the VSX peer closest to the attached
destination, avoiding consuming inter-core bandwidth. Same concept applies for south-to north traffic pattern. In the lab,
OSPF cost for Transit VLAN over ISL is set to 50, and 1000 for Core devices. OSPF cost is synchronized from the VSX
primary to the VSX secondary
• Check OSPF status on the VSX Fabric

Task 6 – Test User Connectivity from Virtual PC (VPC)
Prior to this step it is assumed that Switch C and VPC have previously been configured and tested as in lab guide
“Part 1 Campus 2 Tier L2 Access and VSX”
Note: In real world networks hosts may be restricted for ICMP reachability. However, for the purposes of this lab no
restrictions are applied.
• From VPC1 ping various IP address in the Tier 3 Core

VPCS> ip 10.10.100.1/24 10.10.100.254
Checking for duplicate address...

• The above connectivity is possible as both subnets are directly connected to the VSX Fabric
• The reader can test from VPC2 as required.

Part II Campus 3 Tier. L2

Lab Network Layout

Figure 1. Lab topology

Task 1 – L2 Access and VSX

Task 2 – Transit VLAN and IP on VSX Fabric

On Switch A and B Core configure:

• Set up a transit VLAN 4

• Check IP connectivity between Switch A and B on Transit VLAN 4

SwitchA# ping 192.168.4.2

Task 3 – IP and OSPF on VSX Fabric

On Switch A and B VSX Fabric configure :

• Check OSPF status on the VSX Fabric

show ip ospf neighbors

Total Number of Neighbors : 1

Neighbor ID Priority State Nbr Address Interface

Task 4 – Adding Tier 3 Core

• On Switch X and Y bring up on 1/1/1-1/1/4:

use “exit” to go back a level

Open switch A and B bring up the following ports

• On Switch A and B bring up on 1/1/6-1/1/7

SwitchX#show lldp neighbor-info

LLDP Neighbor Information

Total Neighbor Entries : 4

LOCAL-PORT CHASSIS-ID PORT-ID PORT-DESC TTL SYS-NAME

Task 5 – IP and OSPF on Tier 3

On Switch X and Y configure :

• Routed Port Link Aggregation Group

SwitchX#show interface lag

show lacp interfaces

Actor details of all interfaces:

Partner details of all interfaces:

• IP interfaces and OSPF for Switch X and Y

max-metric router-lsa on-startup

• Check OSPF neighbors here we show for Switch X, Y, A and B
