| | 4 | |
| | 5 | The Plastic Slices project uses small MyPLC-controlled installations of PlanetLab nodes at several participating campuses, to provide compute resources with network interfaces on the [wiki:NetworkCore OpenFlow-controlled backbone]. |

| | 7 | == MyPLC configuration requirements == |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | The [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations] page details the common configuration for MyPLCs participating in Plastic Slices, and links to instructions for how to implement each step. In brief, the necessary configuration items are: |
| | 10 | * [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations#InstallandconfiguretheSFAsoftware AM]: Install and configure the SFA software which implements the GENI AM API |
| | 11 | * [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations#ConfigureSFAtotrustparticipatingGENIsliceauthorities SA]: Configure SFA to trust participating GENI slice authorities |
| | 12 | * [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations#Ensurethatthesitecontainingyournodesispublic Pub]: Ensure that the site containing your nodes is public |
| | 13 | * [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations#ConnectnodesecondaryinterfacetoOpenFlow-controlledVLANsusablebyexperimenters Conn]: Connect node secondary interface to OpenFlow-controlled VLANs usable by experimenters |
| | 14 | * [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations#Configuresubinterfacesonsecondaryinterfaces IF]: Configure subinterfaces on secondary interfaces |
| | 15 | * [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations#ConfigurestaticarptablesforPlasticSlicesIPs ARP]: Configure static arp tables for Plastic Slices IPs |
| | 16 | * [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations#EnsureallIPaddressesonanodearevisibletoslivers Vis]: Ensure all IP addresses on a node are visible to slivers |
| | 17 | * [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations#EnsureMyPLCanditsnodesarereachablethroughfirewalls FW]: Ensure MyPLC and its nodes are reachable through firewalls |
| | 18 | * [wiki:MyPlc/NetworkCoreRecommendations#ConfigurefastnodemanagerresponsetoMyPLCchanges QS]: Configure fast nodemanager response to MyPLC changes |

| | 22 | This table lists the participating campuses. Use it to record configuration that has been verified. The column names use the abbreviations above, plus the following additional information: |
| | 23 | * Node count: how many MyPLC-controlled planetlab nodes are in the testbed? |
| | 24 | * OF VLAN: The VLAN used at this campus to implement [wiki:OpenFlow/CampusTopology#Port-basedphysicalVLANtranslation Port-based physical VLAN translation]. This is VLAN 1750 in the example on that page. |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | The deadlines are from [wiki:PlasticSlices/ProjectPlan]. |
