Tool Setup for Lab 0

1. Check ability to SSH into a GENI Resource

Mac OS X/Linux

Mac OS X and Linux come with an ssh client you can run from a Terminal window. You do not need to install anything.

Windows

If you do not have an ssh client installed:

• Install ​BitVise, an ssh client for Windows.
  

Note: If you are using the Putty ssh client, you will need ​puttygen to convert the private keys used by GENI to Putty's format.

Test SSH with keys

The email you received had an SSH private key attached. The passphrase associated with this key is v3rify. To test your ssh setup you will need:

• username: sshtest
• hostname: pc1.geni.it.cornell.edu
• port: 33594

Mac OS X/Linux/Cygwin : Follow these instructions. If you see a prompt [sshtest@my-node ~]$ you are all set!
Windows : Follow these instructions. If you see a prompt [ssgtest@my-node ~]$ you are all set!
