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.

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 Switch with VLAN 1854 DPID: 07:3e:2c:59:e5:5f:80:00

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

All NPS InstaGENI nodes are on the following VLAN:

VLAN ID	Purpose
1854	Shared Meso-scale OpenFlow VLAN

Shared Meso-scale Port List

NPS OpenFlow connection to the GENI core network is via port name="A19" num="19" on the procurve2 switch.

All host eth1, eth2 and eth3 interfaces are connected to the OpenFlow switch for experimental use. Full list of port names and port numbers:
