Virtual Machine (VM)

Use import/open in VirtualBox/VMware to open the .ova file to create the VM.

After the VM is created, please follow the below instructions specific to your hypervisor.

  • Verify Network Adaptor 1 is configured as NAT and remaining as Internal Network
  • Change the name of the internal network to be different for Adaptors 2 to 4 e.g. osteth1, osteth2, osteth3. These same names must be used for the VM whose NIC you want to connect to these interfaces
  • Adaptor 1 should be NAT and the rest should be Bridged
  • Change Adaptors 2 to 4 from Bridged to Custom and set a different unused VMnetXX for each of them (except Vmnet0, Vmnet8 and Vmnet11). These same names must be used for the VM whose NIC you want to connect to these interfaces

Note

Although the VM is configured with 4 NICs, eth0 is the management interface. Only eth1, eth2 and eth3 should be used as data interfaces to send traffic on and capture from.

Tip

When the Ostinato GUI starts, you MAY sometimes get a error message saying Failed to start the local drone agent. This is spurious and can be ignored as long as the 127.0.0.1 portGroup status icon is Green (connected) - this will be fixed shortly.
