Module A Design and Setup

1. Obtain resources

For this experiment we will need:

• 4 VMs (NodesA-D) with images that comes with pre-installed GIMI tools. (Type A)
• 1 VM (Switch) with images that comes with pre-installed GIMI tools and OVS. (Type B)

The Type A nodes represent regular end systems while the Type B node is used as a software-based OpenFlow (OVS) switch. The resulting slice topology for this experiment is shown in the screenshot below.

You can use any reservation tool you want to reserve this topology:

• For Omni or Flack you can use the RSpec that is published at: ​http://emmy9.casa.umass.edu/GEC-20/gec20learningswitch.rspec
• At the ​GENI Portal there is a public RSpec called "learning-switch" that you can use.

Look at the Prerequisites for Tutorials about reserving resources. MZ: Fix link for GEC20!!!!

1.1 Login to Nodes sender and Receiver

1.1.1 Find your Aggregate

Click on your Slice name in the GENI Portal and scroll to the aggregate where you reserved your resources.

Click on "Details" next to it. You will see a page as below.

Use the Login information obtained here to login to your nodes using any SSH client.
