  1. Click the New Button
  2. Click the Physical Node box and drag it onto the canvas.
  3. To edit the node, double click on the node box.
  4. From the "Select testbed" drop-down, pick the aggregate assigned to you. DO NOT forget to do this
  5. Select the node and press the "Duplicate" button. You should now see two node boxes on the canvas.
  6. Now click near one of the node boxes on the canvas, then click and drag towards the other node. Release when you reach the other node. You should now see a line and a box representing a link connecting the two nodes.
  7. The canvas should now look like the picture on the right.
Two nodes connected by a link.
Figure 3-5 Two nodes connected by a link.
  1. To edit the name of each node, double click on the node box.
  2. In the "Name" field at the top, replace "node0" with "client".
  3. Repeat for the node labeled, "node1". In the "Name" field at the top, replace "node1" with "server".
Relabel VM
Figure 3-6 Edit the name of the VM. Set the Sliver Type on ExoGENI racks.
  1. Now double click on node0 to set its IP address.
  2. In the interface tab of node properties, enter 10.1.1.1.
  3. Enter a mask of 255.255.255.0.
  4. Save the node properties.
  5. Do the same for the server node. Set the server's IP address to 10.1.1.2 and a mask of 255.255.255.0.

  1. After clicking the OK button, wait for the canvas to turn green. (This may take awhile.)
  2. If the canvas doesn't eventually turn green, press the "Update Status" button.
  3. The canvas should now look like the picture on the right.
