Introduction
This document contains the necessary information to manage and deliver the
demonstration of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s Intelligent Fabric (iFab) feature
and to connect to the demo infrastructure.
All information is subject to change as and when the demos are expanded and
additional demos put in place. Please check with the content owner (contact
details at end of this document) if in doubt, and for the latest version.
It is imperative that under no circumstances should you modify any of the
configurations applied on any element of the platform (e.g. network
configuration of the Video server and client). Indeed, as this demo is open to
any System Engineer that requests access, we must preserve the present
configuration so that all users will be able to use the demonstration script as
written.
If this is your first iFab remote demo (eDemo), it is strongly recommended
that you familiarize yourself with the entire demo process. This means
connecting to the demo platform and completing the demo script in its
entirety before executing a customer facing demonstration.
Please feel free to send any ideas of improvements to the central team (contact
details at end of this document).

How to obtain access to the Demo?
Access is via the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection application that will
allow to have access to a rebound server equipped with all required tools
(serial MobaXterm terminal, Chrome browser and VMware vSphere client).
The process for access is as follows:
1. When on the eDemo Intelligent Fabric dedicated web page (insérer ici
le lien vers la page eDemo une fois prête):
- click on the “→ Register and book a demo” link
- fill in the required fields (marked with an *)
- the calendar can help selecting the wished demo timeslot
- a 5 working days delay shall be considered
- “Email” and “ALE email contact” information may be the same if
the demo is requested by an ALE employee, or different if the
demo is requested by a non ALE employee.
- The “Zone” in which the demo will be run (EMEA, APAC, NAR,
CALA) is needed to allocate the relevant support for the
demonstration
- Click on the “Submit” button

2. When the demonstration request is approved, you receive a mail
confirming the demonstration availability for the wished timeslot. The
mail also includes a Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection “iFab.RDP”
file and an associated login/password (available for the requested
timeslot only) that will allow authenticate on the RDP gateway:
 execute the “iFab.RDP” file and click on “Connexion” to confirm
you want to connect:

3. When prompted, enter your RDP login (prepend the “EBS” domain
name) and password (included in received email) and click “OK”:
4. Authenticate and click “OK” to connect to the rebound server:
 Domain (pre-provisioned): EBS
 Login (pre-provisioned): ifab
 Password : iF4b@Ale!

You should now be connected to the rebound server and see its Microsoft
desktop with shortcuts to all elements needed to run and control the
demonstration:
 Power Distribution Unit for the power control of the switches
 Video server streaming a video and Video client receiving the video
 CLI (Command Line Interface) of all switches
WARNING:
Ensure that the correct keyboard layout is selected by clicking on the language shortcut at the
bottom right of the screen!
Today, the options are French and US EN.

Demo Infrastructure
Network diagram
The following diagram shows the layout of the demo:
The infrastructure is built around a Windows “rebound server” equipped with a
VMware ESXi hypervisor hosting two (2) virtual machines:
 Video server
 Video client
The Video server and Video client are respectively connected to the
TOR/Distrib-1 and TOR/Distrib-2 OS6900-X72 switches which are doubly
connected to CORE-1 and CORE-2 switches.
Video Server and Client access
Access to the Video server and the Video client is done from the rebound
server through a VMware vSphere client that allows connecting to the ESXi
hypervisor:

Once connected, vSphere displays both the video client and server virtual
machines, and a right-click allows opening a console:
Switch power control
Every switch is connected to a “smart” PDU that embeds a web based
Graphical User Interface allowing a remote control of the electrical power
supply of each switch. This will allow initiating a reboot of the switches.
Access to the PDU GUI has been pre-configured with a shortcut on the rebound
server desktop.

Switch console access (Command Line Interface)
The serial console port of each switch is connected to a console server that
allows access to the CLI of each switch, during the reboot process of the
switches and after the reboot in order to issue key commands.
