Appendix A: Install and Configure Spirent Virtual LabServer
Spirent Virtual LabServer (vLS)
Getting Started with Spirent TestCenter | 63
Configure Spirent vLS VM
When a VM running either the Spirent_TestCenter_LabServer-4.99.xxxx OVA or
QCOW2 image is started, it should be ready to use, if the VM is connected to a network
that provides DHCP-assigned IP addresses.
1 To obtain that address, log in to the VM with user ID admin and password spirent.
• For ESXi, log in on the ESXi admin console.
• For KVM, telnet to the telnet host and port specified in the command that created
the VM.
Note: All admin configuration can be performed from the admin console or telnet
port. Optionally, SSH can be used; however, it is disabled by default. To enable SSH,
select [1] Configure System followed by [7] SSH. At the Enable SSH prompt, enter
“y”, then select Save changes [10].
The IP address should be displayed at the login prompt (Note: If the telnet session
only responds with “Escape character is ‘^]”, press Enter one or more times). If the
address is displayed, use the escape sequence, and then quit out of telnet.
telnet <host IP> <telnet port>
Trying 10.28.226.20...
Connected to 10.28.226.20.
Escape character is '^]'.
