InstaGENI Aggregate Overview

Aggregate Manager URL	​https://foam.instageni.nps.edu:3626/foam/gapi/2
Aggregate Manager URN	urn:publicid:IDN+openflow:foam:foam.instageni.nps.edu+authority+am
Aggregate Manager Common Name	nps-ig-of
Aggregate Resources	An InstaGENI aggregate includes 5 Hosts (3 VM Servers and 2 dedicated PCs) that can load experimenter specified OS images. Racks also support OpenFlow topologies, usually including extensions onto campus OpenFlow networks. Rack servers are HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8.
Typical Experiments	InstaGENI provides a controllable, predictable, and repeatable network environment. Experimenters can get virtual machines or dedicated PCs on which they have full "root" access, run available operating systems of their choice, and connect nodes in an arbitrary topology that can support OpenFlow.
Sample RSpecs	​Site Confirmation RSpecs ​Stitching RSpecs
Aggregate Status	Restricted access to monitoring at ​http://genimon.uky.edu/ and ​GMOC
Slice Authorities Recognized	GENI Portal (​https://portal.geni.net), ProtoGENI (​http://www.emulab.net)
Usage Policies	The ​GENI Recommended Use Policy. No additional site usage policy.
Layer 2 Connectivity	Internet2 via ​CENIC OpenFlow Regional Network

The following is the layout of OpenFlow switch connections for the InstaGENI Aggregate. Shown are the OpenFlow Switches:

• InstaGENI Switch procurve2: Model: HP J8697A Switch E5406zl

NOTE: OpenFlow resources must be allocated at ​CENIC OpenFlow Regional to connect to the GENI core network.
