GENI Layer-2 Connectivity
The OpenFlow Core consists of interconnected OpenFlow-enabled switches on the Internet2 and National LambdaRail networks. To reach these VLANs, a campus typically uses VLANs through either the National LambdaRail or Internet2 layer-2 services. The OpenFlow Core deployment's topology and configuration is documented on the NetworkCore wikipage.
The Internet2 ION circuits and National LambdaRail FrameNet VLANs used to reach the OpenFlow Core VLANs are listed in the corresponding tables in the relevant Backbone Service Provider section..

Regional VLAN Interconnections Table
Connectivity IP networks
Site's IP Ranges
For initial Connectivity testing, a typical nomenclature is to use a 10.X.X.0/24 net with a VLAN ID encoded into the IP address. To save time allocating IP addresses the following range-by-subnet scheme can be used for initial connectivity and "path-finding" experiments and configurations. This is particularly useful for multi-site connections, such as the OpenFlow Core VLANs.
To connect your site with GENI: Email help@gpo.net

Note that these IP addresses are allocated in blocks of /28 for consistency, this is not a subnet. All hosts in the /24 net should be able to ping one another by default. For example, a host at Clemson (10.37.5.17) should be able to ping a host at Washington (10.37.5.81).
This specific IP network (which corresponds to the VLAN) is meant for monitoring and testing of the connection, though host addresses within this IP network may be used in "small" experiments. Other IP networks following the same nomenclature maybe also be used on a given VLAN. Specific experiments may also designate other addition IP networks on the VLAN for specific use. This scheme lays the groundwork for initial connectivity only, it is expected other IP networks (as well as non-IP networks) will be devised in the future.
Campuses may assign other sites IPs from their range. This range-by-subnet scheme also allows for campuses to subnet the IP addresses not used for connectivity monitoring for additional traffic isolation.
