| 27 | = Lab Zero: A First Experiment Using GENI and jFed Tool = |
| 28 | |
| 29 | == Overview == |
| 30 | |
| 31 | This is a first, simple experiment on GENI useful for familiarizing new experimenters with GENI and the tools for using GENI. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | === What you will learn === |
| 34 | The high levels goals for this exercise are to: |
| 35 | 1. Do a simple but complete GENI experiment |
| 36 | 2. Learn and use 5 GENI terms: experimenter, project, slice, resource, and aggregate. |
| 37 | 3. Use the [http://portal.geni.net GENI Experimenter Portal] and jFed |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Specifically, during this exercise you will: |
| 40 | * Use your GENI account for the first time and do some one time setup |
| 41 | - Login to the GENI Experimenter Portal for the first time |
| 42 | - Join a Project |
| 43 | - Specify `ssh` keys for use logging into resources |
| 44 | * Learn how to reserve, login to, and release resources in GENI |
| 45 | - Create and renew a slice |
| 46 | - Generate and reserve your own topology of GENI resources using jFed |
| 47 | - Learn how to login to compute resources using `ssh` |
| 48 | - Learn how to delete resources in GENI |
| 49 | * Understand the difference between the control and data plane interfaces on each node |
| 50 | * Use these resources to do a very simple first experiment |
| 51 | - Use `ping` to test connectivity between the reserved resources |
| 52 | - Use `ifconfig` to identify your data and control plane interfaces |
| 53 | |
