Prerequisites for Configuring the Simulator
Three IP addresses are required. Each APIC instance requires a private IP address from within your network for out-of-band management.
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

When the simulator server boots up, the ACI Simulator starts automatically, launching a separate initialization console for each APIC instance. You can switch between the consoles by using the following keyboard commands:
Alt-F1— Connects to apic1 console
Alt-F2— Connects to apic2 console
Alt-F3— Connects to apic3 console
To continue the configuration and operation of the ACI Simulator, see the Cisco ACI Simulator Getting Started Guide.
Note |
Before configuring the simulator server, read the Cisco ACI Simulator Release Notes to learn about any functional or configuration differences between the simulator and the actual APIC. |
