= Lab Zero: A First Experiment Using GENI and jFed Tool = == Overview == This is a first, simple experiment on GENI useful for familiarizing new experimenters with GENI and the tools for using GENI. === What you will learn === The high levels goals for this exercise are to: 1. Do a simple but complete GENI experiment 2. Learn and use 5 GENI terms: experimenter, project, slice, resource, and aggregate. 3. Use the [http://portal.geni.net GENI Experimenter Portal] and jFed Specifically, during this exercise you will: * Use your GENI account for the first time and do some one time setup - Login to the GENI Experimenter Portal for the first time - Join a Project - Specify `ssh` keys for use logging into resources * Learn how to reserve, login to, and release resources in GENI - Create and renew a slice - Generate and reserve your own topology of GENI resources using jFed - Learn how to login to compute resources using `ssh` - Learn how to delete resources in GENI * Understand the difference between the control and data plane interfaces on each node * Use these resources to do a very simple first experiment - Use `ping` to test connectivity between the reserved resources - Use `ifconfig` to identify your data and control plane interfaces === Experiment Topology and Setup === {{{ #!html Tutorial Setup }}} Reserve two VMs at the same location connected by a Layer 2 circuit. == Background == [wiki:GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/GettingStarted_PartI/Background Background information] about pre-requisites, tools, resources, and where to get help. == Procedure == {{{ #!html
