Onboarding GNS3 EXOS virtual switches in XIQ: is it possible?

[lorisman]

I'm doing some labs with GNS3 and I've obtained some Pilot training licenses. I've tried to onboard a couple of EXOS virtual switches on XIQ, their SIMxxxx-0000 serials are accepted, but they stays "Disconnected".

The 'show iqagent discovery detail' command output is:

IQAgent discovered on VR VR-Mgmt

            XIQ Server Status          : Not available; HTTP status code 404

Any hints? Did someone had success doing this?

Thanks

I don't personally have experience with virtual/simulated EXOS switches., but I have some ideas on what can be checked. Do your virtual switch(es) have proper time synced via NTP/SNTP?

There is also the firewall configuration guide that outlines IP blocks with ports that need to be opened outbound from your LAN to ExtremeCloud IQ.

Here's a KB that walks you through how to find the FW configuration guide for your specific VIQ/RDC. Please note, the KB has a screenshot example of some of the IP blocks & ports, those might NOT align with the IP's and ports that your specific VIQ needs.
