InstaGENI Aggregate Overview
Aggregate Manager URL | https://foam.instageni.cenic.net:3626/foam/gapi/2 |
Aggregate Manager URN | urn:publicid:IDN+openflow:foam:foam.instageni.cenic.net+authority+am |
Aggregate Manager Common Name | cenic-ig-of |
Aggregate Resources | An InstaGENI aggregate includes 5 Hosts (3 VM Servers and 2 dedicated PCs) that can load experimenter specified OS images. Racks also support OpenFlow topologies, usually including extensions onto campus OpenFlow networks. Rack servers are HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8. |
Typical Experiments | InstaGENI provides a controllable, predictable, and repeatable network environment. Experimenters can get virtual machines or dedicated PCs on which they have full "root" access, run available operating systems of their choice, and connect nodes in an arbitrary topology that can support OpenFlow. |
Sample RSpecs | Site Confirmation RSpecs and Stitching RSpecs |
Aggregate Status | Restricted access to monitoring at http://genimon.uky.edu and GMOC |
Slice Authorities Recognized | GENI Portal (https://portal.geni.net), ProtoGENI (http://www.emulab.net) |
Usage Policies | A GENI Recommended Use Policy is available. Site should also add links here to their own usage policies. |
Layer 2 Connectivity | CENIC connects into the California OpenFlow Testbed Network (COTN) for meso-scale connectivity. |
InstaGENI Switch procurve2: Model: HP J8697A Switch E5406zl with VLAN 1750 DPID: 06:d6:84:34:97:d4:6c:00
NOTE: OpenFlow resources at must be allocated at CENIC OpenFlow Regional to connect to the GENI core network.

OpenFlow over GENI Network Stitching
This rack supports running hardware OpenFlow experiments over stitched GENI network connections. Please be advised that the following restrictions apply:
- Network stitching on the InstaGENI rack allocates and enforces link bandwidth, which cannot be modified by OpenFlow.
- VLANs allocated to stitched connections on the rack cannot be modified, because InstaGENI rack switches operate in hybrid mode, preventing VLAN tag rewriting.
If you require some other type of dataplane connections for your OpenFlow experiment, please contact geni-users@googlegroups.com.
