Remote virtual network proxy
IMPORTANT: To connect virtual networks successfully, make
sure the PCs where the virtual networks reside are in the
same network and can communicate with each other.

Remote virtual network proxies (referred to as network proxy

hereafter) are used to establish a communication tunnel between
the virtual network on the local PC and the virtual network on a
remote PC.
To use network proxies to establish a tunnel between virtual
networks:
1. Add a network proxy on each end.
As shown in Figure 82 and Figure 83, you must add a
network proxy in the virtual network on each PC. A network
proxy represents a remote virtual network.
2. Specify the two ends as peers of each other.
a. Double-click a stopped network proxy.
The page as shown in Figure 55 opens.
b. On the page, enter the IP address of the PC where the
remote network resides and the project name of the remote
virtual network. These two parameters uniquely identify the
remote network to be connected.
Figure 55 Configuring the network proxy

3. Make the two ends negotiate to establish the communication

tunnel.
a. Right-click a network proxy, and select Add links from the
shortcut menu.
The tunnel configuration window opens, as shown in Figure

Figure 78 Operating links
· For a user to start HCL correctly, make sure the username
contains only ASCII characters.
· Do not start HCL as an administrator. If you start HCL as an
administrator, you might not be able to start HCL by
double-clicking the HCL shortcut icon on the desktop. To
resolve the issue, you must restart the PC.
· If you add links and delete links for a virtual device on HCL
again and again, some links might not be up. This
symptom is more likely to occur when you use devices on
different hosts to establish a network. To resolve the issue,
stop the devices and then start the devices again.
· Do not delete, move, or modify files in the HCL installation
directory. If you fail to follow this rule, HCL might not be
able to start correctly.
· Do not enable packet filtering on firewalls or anti-virus
software. If you enable packet filtering on firewalls or anti-
virus software, communication between a virtual device
and its host or between PCs might fail.
· As a best practice, use only HCL to manage running virtual
devices. If you use other tools such as the VirtualBox
manager to manage the devices (for example, bridge
NICs, or start or stop the devices), the devices might not
be able to operate correctly.
· If you cannot start virtual devices on a Windows host,
complete the following tasks to resolve the issue: a. Open
the User Account Control Settings window.
b. Verify that the setting for Choose when to be notified
about changes to your computer is Never notify.
· Typically, the system time of a virtual device on HCL is
slower than the system time of the host PC.
· The name of the VirtualBox installation directory must
contain only English letters. If the name contains other
types of characters, virtual devices on HCL cannot start.
· As a best practice, enable VT-x or AMD-V on the host PC. If
you do not enable VT-x or AMD-V, virtual devices on HCL
run slowly.
· When you start HCL, identify whether the VBoxSVC process
is running if you see a message that prompts you to check
the status of the VirtualBox API. If the process is not
running, start VirtualBox and then identify the status of the
process again. If the process is still not running, re-install
VirtualBox. For more information about VirtualBox
installation, see "Choosing components to install."

父主题： H3C Cloud Lab User Guide V3.0.1.1

Download method:
· Go to the official website of H3C (http://www.h3c.com), select
the navigation bar "Product Support and Service-Documents
and Software-Software Download" to enter the software
product page, select "Other Products", and click the
download link under "H3C Cloud Lab" to enter the HCL
download page.
Installation suggestions:
· For Win10 operating system, it is recommended to install HCL
2.1.3 version and use the built-in virtual box 6.0.14; the
current simulator does not support Win10 21H1 system.
· For Win7 operating system, it is recommended to install HCL
2.1.1 version first, and the virtual box recommends 4.2.24 or
5.1.30 version.

1. After the HCL installation in the win10 system is completed, it

cannot be started and the error message:

This problem is caused by the compatibility between the

virtual box and the win 10 system. Both HCL and virtual box
need to be set to be compatible with win 7 operation.
If the problem of virtual device creation or startup failure
occurs after setting compatibility, it is recommended to
change the virtual box version to 4.2.24 or 5.1.30 at this time.
Virtual box download link:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds
NOTE:
· The above answers are for the user to install and use HCL in
the win 10 system for the first time. If the user has a problem
with the creation and startup of a virtual device during normal
use, please refer to Question 5 and Question 6.
· If the user can use HCL normally in the win 10 system, it is not
recommended to upgrade or change the computer system or
virtual box version to avoid new compatibility issues.

2. After the HCL installation is complete, the virtual device starts

very slowly after starting the HCL, click to open the command
line, and no information is displayed after the pop-up dialog
box, and no command can be input.
The problem is that the VT-x or AMD-V function of the host
machine is not turned on, which causes the virtual machine to
run slowly. The operation of the HCL virtual machine depends
on the host's VT-x or AMD-V function. If you need to run the
HCL, please make sure that the host's VT-x or AMD-V
function is turned on. It is recommended not to run on a host
without this function HCL.

3. After the HCL installation is complete, the HCL fails to start;

the prompt: "The current system user name contains non-
ASCII characters"
HCL can only be installed in the English path. If the user
name is Chinese or the installation path has a Chinese
directory, this problem will occur. Please make sure that the
system user name and installation path do not contain
Chinese characters.
If the current user name contains Chinese characters, after
modifying the user name, please ensure that the current user
name under the "C:\Users (users)" folder has been modified
synchronously; or you can create an English name account
and perform HCL under this account Installation and use.
4. After the HCL installation is complete, the HCL fails to start;
the prompt: "VirtualBox is not installed, please install first" or
 "Installation failed! Error: The system cannot find the
specified path."
The installation path of VirtualBox does not support Chinese
characters, and if the system user name contains non-ASCII
characters, HCL will not start. Please make sure that the
system user name and installation path do not contain
Chinese characters.

5. After the HCL installation is complete, start the HCL and report
an error when creating a device, prompting: "Failed to create
a device"
a. If you fail to create a device for the first time, you can try to
continue to create this type of device
b. There is residual VirtualBox, open VirtualBox, delete
Simware_Base and other topo-device devices; start HCL
and try to create the device again
c. Or uninstall VirtualBox after removing the device residue,
and then delete the VirtualBox VMs folder; restart the
computer, and then reinstall VirtualBox

6. After the HCL installation is complete, start the HCL, start the
device and report an error, prompting: "The device failed to
start"
a. Mainly caused by residues when VirtualBox is closed, the
same as problem 5: Clear the device residues and
terminate the vBoxSVC.exe process, and then reopen the
HCL problem to solve the problem.
b. The version of VirtualBox is too low.

7. After the HCL installation is complete, the HCL fails to start;

"Prompt: Please check whether the VirtualBox API is installed
correctly"
a. Check whether the VBoxSVC process is started.
 b. If it is not started, please start Virtual Box manually and
check whether the VBoxSVC process is started;
c. If the VBoxSVC process still does not start, please reinstall
Virtual Box and restart the computer (it is recommended to
install to the default path, the installation path cannot
contain Chinese, it is best to clean the registry before
reinstalling).

8. After the HCL installation is complete, start the device and

enter the kdb view
After starting the emulator device, enter the abnormal kdb
view. You can stop the device at this time, right-click the
device icon, and select Configure to increase the running
memory of the device. The recommended adjustment range
is within 1024M.

9. The HCL device interface cannot be up normally/abnormally

down/the interface cannot be up
After starting the simulator device, the connection interface
cannot be up normally. At this time, you can stop the
operation of the device, reconnect the interface and restart
the device.
10. Unable to connect to SIMWAREWRAPPER (address
127.0.0.1/port 16600)

Please check whether the port is occupied;

If the port is not occupied, please try to uninstall the virtual
box and HCL simulator,
Run the command line netsh winsock reset as an
administrator, restart the operating system, and reinstall the
emulator.

11. After the created device is started, if the command line

window does not respond within ten minutes (win7 will be
slower than win10)
a. Check the memory of the device configuration interface. It
is recommended to try to increase the memory, but it is not
recommended to exceed 1024M.
b. If modifying the memory is invalid, open the corresponding
version of vbox to confirm whether there is a problem with
the creation of the device. The following figure shows the
created MSR36 type router. The device vmdk can be read
normally. If the vmdk of the corresponding device does not
exist, it is abnormal. Try to delete the device on the HCL
side and recreate it.
c. If deleting and rebuilding the device is invalid, try to right-
click the device in the vbox to start it manually. (Using HCL
under normal circumstances, do not start the device on the
vbox side)
d. If it still fails to start in vbox, you need to reinstall HCL.
1. What equipment does HCL support?
In the official version of HCL 2.1.3, only MSR3620 devices,
VSR88 devices, S6850 devices and F1090 devices are
supported; subsequent versions will add other series of
products, such as wireless, etc., so stay tuned.

2. What functions are not supported by HCL?

The functions currently not supported by the current
version are as follows:
Switch products: port isolation, traffic statistics, Netconf
Security products: IRF dual-system hot backup
Router products: ADWAN related functions, SR, SRv6,
FlexE, Netconf

3. Why the HCL QOS access control does not take effect?
It is not just QOS that has this problem; QOS, MQC, ACL
counting statistics, arp proxy under super vlan, isolate -
user-vlan, port isolation and other functions that require
hardware chips to implement, HCL simulators cannot yet
be implemented.
Note: Super VLAN related experiments need to switch the
device to the b59 version (default b75 version), and you
need to install the Device_59 installation package and log
in before you can switch the device version.

4. Does HCL support IRF2?

In the current version of HCL, S6850 and F1090 support
IRF2 function.

5. Does the HCL simulator support vpls experiments?

HCL switch does not support vpls experiment, you can use
router simulation.
 6. Does the HCL simulator support QinQ experiments?
The HCL simulator only partially supports QinQ:
a. basic QinQ
b. Support QinQ transparent transmission
c. Support TPID setting
d. For the configuration operation of QINQ, please refer to:
Support - 07-QinQ configuration- H3C
7. What is the maximum connection supported by the device
simulated by HCL?
HCL limits each device to support up to 7 connections;
subsequent versions will remove the connection restriction
or increase the number of connections, so stay tuned.

8. How many devices does HCL support at most?

HCL limits a single process to support up to 50 devices.

9. After reducing the memory occupied by the device, the

OSPF neighbor cannot reach the FULL state?
Because protocols such as OSPF and BGP occupy a large
amount of memory, after reducing the device memory,
these protocols cannot operate normally, causing
neighbors to be unable to be established normally. It is
recommended not to modify the default memory. If you
need to simulate multiple devices, we recommend that you
use the remote tool in the simulator for cross-PC
networking.

10. How does SecureCRT link to HCL equipment?

The piped.exe software needs to be borrowed from
SecureCRT to connect to the HCL device. The steps are
as follows:
a. After creating the device, do not turn it on first, select
the corresponding device in the virtual box, right-click to
open the configuration window, and copy the device
serial port path information

b. Start the piped software, add pipe connector, fill in the

pipe column with the copied information of step 1, and
select the connection port, the picture shows port 3001.

c. Click Add to add, as shown in the figure:

d. Start the device, open the SecureCRT software, click
the quick link, as shown in the figure: Protocol---Telnet;
host name---127.0.0.1; port---3001 (the same as the
port set in the piped software)

e. Click "Connect", the connection is successful as shown

in the figure:

Configuration steps: After starting the PC, right-click the PC
and click Configure, as shown in the figure below:
3. Why does the default med command in BGP not take effect in
HCL?
This is caused by the difference between the V5 platform and
the V7 platform. In the V7 platform, the default med command
only takes effect for local import or network routes, and does
not take effect for routes learned from other devices.
Therefore, the meaning of default med in the V7 platform is
also different from that in the V5 platform.

4. Use FTP to upload files to the router, prompt: 550 permission

denied?
 550 permission denied means that the ftp user's permission
is not enough; this point is different between V5 and V7. The
security check of V7 is very strict. You need to specify the
user role level before you can have ftp permissions. For the
pre-defined user role names and corresponding permissions
in the system, please refer to the MSR36-20 (V7)
Configuration Guide on the H3C official website.

5. How to assign user priority to devices on the simulator?

The devices selected on the simulator are all Comware V7
platform devices, which are quite different from our common
Comware V5 platform in user priority. The Comware V7
platform system predefines a variety of user roles, user role
names and corresponding permissions. The specific
corresponding relationships are as follows:
network-admin
All functions and resources of the operating system
network-operator
Execute the display commands related to all functions and
resources of the system (except the display history-command
all command, for details, please use the display role name
network-operator command to view)
If the user logs in to the system using local authentication and
is granted the role, then the user can change the password
The command to enter the XML view can be executed
Allows users to manipulate all read types of XML elements
level-n (n = 0～15)
level-0: ping, tracert, ssh2, telnet and super can be executed,
and the administrator can configure permissions for them
level-1: Has the authority of the level-0 user role, and can
execute display commands related to all functions and
resources of the system (except display history-command
all), and the administrator can configure the authority for it
 level-2～level-8 and level-10～level-14: no default
permissions, the administrator needs to configure
permissions for them
level-9: Most functions and all resources in the operating
system are available, and the administrator can configure
permissions for them, but cannot operate the display history-
command all command, RBAC commands (except Debug
commands), file management, and equipment Management
and local user characteristics. For local users, if the user logs
in to the system and is granted the role, then the user can
change the password
level-15: Has the same permissions as the network-admin
role

6. In the official version of HCL, how do the if-match statements

in the route-policy call ACL and ip-prefix?
The format of the if-match statement on the Comware V7
platform is different from that on the Comware V5 platform.
The format of the if-match command on the Comware V7
platform is as follows:
if-match ip { address | next-hop | route-source } { acl acl-
number | prefix-list prefix-list-name }

7. How to configure BGP in HCL? Why can't the BGP neighbors

establish after the V5 platform commands are configured?
The configuration commands for the BGP protocol of the
Comware V7 platform are as follows:
bgp as-number
peer ip-address as-number as-number
address-family ipv4
peer ip-address enable
network x.x.x.x
NOTE:
 · Comware V7 platform publishes BGP routes in the address-
family ipv4 view.

8. What is the firewall login password?

The firewall login password is admin/admin.

9. Why the firewall directly connected impassability?

The firewall under the Comware V7 platform uses all-deny
policy. It is necessary to configure an inter-domain policy
between local and the security domain where the interface is
located to allow related traffic.

10. How to configure firewall via WEB

You can bridge to the local VirtualBox network card through
the Host, configure the address, configure the relevant inter-
domain policy on the firewall, and directly access it through
the browser!
