peering and one for management. The peering LAN will be your IXP LAN
and should contain only customer router IP addresses. The management
LAN should contain IXP Manager and the management IP address of your
switch. When you configure it like this, the server running IXP Manager
should be able to ping the switch's management address.<br><br>Your
other questions are related to configuration of virtualisation systems.
I'm sure VMware Desktop or VirtualBox can both handle the network
connectivity requirements that you're looking for, but we don't use
either of these systems internally at INEX so I can't offer advice on
how to configure them.<br><br>Nick<br><span>

<div dir="ltr"><br>Dear All,<br>I am new to IXP manager but I now want to add
two customers and one switch to IXP manager.<br><br>I am simulating an
IXP for now. For which, I used two computers as ISPs having their own
ASes and one switch and one route server in a single LAN.<br><br>Currently,
I am running IXP manager in Ubuntu 18 server which is running on VMWare
(which is running on Windows). I have HP Aruba Switch 2930F which I
want to connect with IXP manager. I think that IXP manager should also
be in the same LAN in which my IXP is running. Can I connect the switch
(or IXP) to IXP manager which is running inside VMWare?<br><br>I added a
switch in an ixp manager. How will it be connected to switch? Should
the switch physically connected to the server? Should the server reside
in the same subnet? Should server have the same subnet as of switch and
customers (ISPs or ASes)?<br><br>If I give the wrong information about
switch then How will I come to know that ixp manager didnt find the
switch?<br>And similarly, How will customers with dummy IP addresses be
detected by ixp manager?<br><br><br>The basic question is:<br>I added
the switch and ixp manager added switch for me. I want to check that can
it access my switch? How will I come to know about it?<br><br>I have a
vague answer to my question that first of all the ixp manager is behind
the NAT of VMWare and is outside the LAN in which my IXP and customers
reside. It should be in the LAN of IXP so that it finds the switch and
customers. So, I want you to guide on the basic question above that how
will IXP manager find switch if it is not in the same LAN? If it is not
finding switch then how will it say or notify me? Basically, I want to
debug whether switch is connected or customer is added or not?<br><br>--------------------------------<br>The
second question I have is that I first installed Ubuntu 18 desktop.
Then I installed VirtualBox and inside that VirtualBox, I installed
Ubuntu 18 server and IXP manager successfully. It gave me the IP address
of the IXP manager. But, that IP is inaccessible through the firefox of
Ubuntu 18 desktop. Can you tell why is that?<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Haider
