HP NETWORK SIMULATOR: A COMWARE OS LEARNING TOOL

Comware v7 is a network operating system that runs on HP high-end network devices. The HP Network Simulator is an ideal Comware v7 learning tool, which allows users to create, configure, and connect simulated networks.

Benefits

Beginners – The HP Network Simulator tool is helpful for users who are new to networking and want to learn how to configure network devices (switches, routers), various topologies, or different routing and switching protocols and features.

Experienced users – The HP Network Simulator learning tool is helpful for users who have experience with non-HP networking devices and want to learn the Comware CLI and features.

Extra devices – Users can create devices using the HP Network Simulator and use them with their physical devices to configure and test topologies that aren’t configurable with just the physical devices they have. For example – A user wants to configure OSPF using 3 or more devices but has only 1 physical router. User can create 2 or more routers using the HP Network Simulator learning tool and connect the simulated devices with the physical device; and configure OSPF.

Certification Test Takers – The HP Network Simulator learning tool is also helpful for candidates who want to take HP Certification exams but don’t have access to physical HP devices to practice on.

VISUALIZING TRACE FILE DATA WITH GnuPlot

Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven graphing utility for Linux, OS/2, MS Windows, OSX, VMS, and many other platforms. The source code is copyrighted but freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it). It was originally created to allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data interactively, but has grown to support many non-interactive uses such as web scripting. It is also used as a plotting engine by third-party applications like Octave. Gnuplot has been supported and under active development since 1986. 

Gnuplot can be used to visualize the trace file data; several network parameters can be plotted using this Gnu plot..for more details click here

BonnMotion: A MOBILITY SCENARIO GENERATION AND ANALYSIS TOOL

BonnMotion is a Java software which creates and analyzes mobility scenarios and is most commonly used as a tool for the investigation of mobile ad hoc network characteristics. The scenarios can also be exported for several network simulators, such as ns-2, ns-3, GloMoSim/QualNet, COOJA, MiXiM, and ONE. BonnMotion is being jointly developed by the Communication Systems group at the University of Bonn, Germany, the Toilers group at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO, USA, and the Distributed Systems group at the University of Osnabrück, Germany. Several mobility models are supported, namely

• the Random Waypoint model,
• the Random Walk model,
• the Gauss-Markov model,
• the Manhattan Grid model,
• the Reference Point Group Mobility model,
• the Disaster Area model,
• the Random Street model,
• and more.

Installing BonnMotion

 Just run the "install" script from the BonnMotion directory (since BonnMotion v2.0, "compile" is run automatically at the end of the install script).
On Linux:

1. BonnMotion requires a Java Runtime Engine (JRE) and a Java Development Kit (JDK).Open the terminal and type
   
   sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk 
   
   

1. Unzip BonnMotion archive: unzip bonnmotion-2.0.zip
2. Change directory to BonnMotion directory:such as /usr/local/src unzip bonnmotion-2.0.zip
   
   cd bonnmotion-2.0/
3. Run install script:
   
   ./installYou will be queried as follows: Please enter your Java binary path [/usr/bin]:
   
   simply hit return.
4. Run BonnMotion from "bin" folder: cd bin && ./bm

 Could not find the main class: edu.bonn.cs.iv.bonnmotion.run.BM. Program will exit.

There are two errors above:

1. The "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0" error is due to using a different version JRE than JDK. You probably installed openjdk-7-jdk but note that it also installs openjdk-6-jre and sets version 6 to the default. You can change this by running 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' and selecting '/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java' which matches your compilation environment.
2. your system could not find the classes provided by BonnMotion; this is a problem with the Java CLASSPATH.
