MIMIC^® Online Documentation

To run the simulation, invoke the File->Open menu from the MIMICView GUI, and select the nxos-cli.cfg or the nxos-netconf.cfg file.

Select agents and change their IP addresses, if necessary. Start it using the Agent->Start menu item.

After the agent starts completely and turns into green, you can test the CLI or NETCONF simulations using a TELNET or SSH client. NETCONF is supported with 4 devices. MDS9124 version 4.1 does not support NETCONF.

To duplicate large number of simulations per MIMIC Virtual Lab Pod, use the pod_initialize.mtcl and pod_duplicate.mtcl scripts as the following picture.

Any TELNET and SSH client that supports SSH version 2 subsystem.

Login username is admin, password is admin123. Supported commands are:

• connect nxos (only for the embedded NXOS in Fabric Interconnect 6120XP)
• show version
• show running-config
• show interface
• show ip route
• show ip route vrf all
• show ip interface
• show ip interface vrf all

Use SSH subsystem word "xmlagent" for maximum compatibility because some NXOS devices implement both "xmlagent" and "netconf" while others only implement "xmlagent". In a UNIX shell, enter ssh -s admin@ip.address.of.agent xmlagent to log in the NETCONF interface. Supported commands are:

• hello and show version
  (Please copy and paste the following code into an editor and concatenate it into a single line, including the NETCONF deliminators, before applying it against the NETCONF simulation device. This will avoid any unintended line breaks.)

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
