+                      v85
  * In the "openflow:controller" line, include your !OpenFlow controller name and port information.
 Note: If you do not have an !OpenFlow controller, you can set one up as shown [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/OpenFlow/GeniBackboneTest#SetupyourOpenFlowcontroller here].
+''Note:'' You must run an !OpenFlow Controller to manage your experiment. If you do not have an !OpenFlow controller, see the following page for instructions on how-to [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/OpenFlow/GeniBackboneTest#SetupyourOpenFlowcontroller Setup an OpenFlow Controller].  Also, attached to this page is a [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIExperimenter/ExperimentExample-OF-FOAM/nox-install.txt capture] of the !OpenFlow Controller software installation, and runtime commands used to run the experiment in this page.
 The modified !OpenFlow V3 Rspec template is shown below with the setting changes specific to our experiment:
 …
 == Create Slice and Request Resources ==
 Using the RSpecs that define the OF flowspace and compute resource for our experiment, we can now set up the experimennt with Omni. First create a slice using your GPO Clearinghouse credentials as defined in the omni_config. Note that the slice name should be meaningful to you and then create a sliver for each resource aggregate.  In this example there are 4 OF aggregates (one per site plus one for the GENI core) and 3 compute resource aggregates (3 MyPLC), which maps to creating 7 slivers, and the following commands are executed:  XXXX
+== Setup Experiment ==
+Using the !OpenFLow and compute resource RSpecs we defined above, we can now set up an experimennt with Omni. First, we create a slice using the GPO Clearinghouse credentials as defined in the [wiki:GENIExperimenter/ExperimentExample-OF-FOAM#AuthenticationandOmnitoolsconfiguration Omni configuration]. Note, you should choose a slice name that is meaningful to you. Then, we create a sliver for each resource aggregate.  In this example there are 4 !OpenFlow aggregates (one per site plus one for the GENI core) and 3 compute resource aggregates (3 MyPLC), which maps to creating 7 slivers. The following commands are executed to set up the experiment:

 Remember, to renew the slice and slivers reservation time, as the default time is 8 hours. You may find out the current expiration time by using sliverstatus with the Omni tools. Following are the commands to determine the current sliverstatus along with expiration time:

-=== Setup an OpenFlow Controller for the Experiment ===
-Once you have set up your resources you need to install and run an !OpenFlow Controller to manage your experiment. See the following page for instructions to [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/OpenFlow/GeniBackboneTest#SetupyourOpenFlowcontroller Setup an OpenFlow Controller].  Also, attached is a [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GENIExperimenter/ExperimentExample-OF-FOAM/nox-install.txt capture] of the !OpenFlow Controller software installation, and how the controller is run for this example.
 === FOAM sliver approval ===
 …
 == Run Experiment ==
 Once your flowspace has been opted in you should be able login to each of the MyPLC hosts and exchange traffic over the approved flows between the hosts that have been allocated to your experiment.  Simply SSH into one of the hosts and ping any of the other hosts to verify connectivity. If you have connectivity between the allocated hosts, you may start your experiment, if you do not have connectivity, contact [mailto:help@geni.net].

+You can now use the hosts to run an experiment!
 == Release Resources ==
 When the experiment is completed you should release the resources by deleting the sliver for each of the Resource Aggregates used in the Experiment. In the example experiment used in this page, the following commands should be issued to release resources:
