The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch virtual AOS 8 (vAOS8®) is a virtual instance of AOS 8 that runs in a simulation platform such as GNS3. It is agnostic of the OmniSwitch platform. vAOS8 is designed to make network design, training and pre-deployment configuration validation more seamless, without requiring real hardware switches. With comprehensive application and protocol support like the real OS, you can validate the readiness of a design for network deployment. vAOS8 must only be used for lab and demo purposes, and not in a production environment.
