1. Verify your Environment Setup:
This exercise assumes you have already setup your account at the GENI Portal. In particular ensure that:
- You can login to the GENI Portal
- You are a member of a GENI Project (there is at least one project listed under the ''Projects'' tab)
- You have setup your ssh keys (there is at least one key listed under the ''Profile->SSH Keys'' tab)
2. Setup the Topology:
- Login to the GENI Portal
- Create a new slice with the name of your choice.
- Click the Add Resources button on the Slice page.
- Drag two VMs (the black icons) onto the canvas.
- Draw a link between them.
- Drag a second site onto the canvas.
- Drag one of the existing VMs to the second site.
- Click on the unlabeled box in the middle of the link. Select "Stitched Ethernet" as the link type.

The link type you select will affect the aggregates you are allowed to bind to in the next step.
- Stitched Ethernet gives you a layer 2 link (e.g. a VLAN) between aggregates.
- EGRE Tunnel gives you a layer 3 tunnel between aggregates.
- However, if you would like a Layer 2 link connecting only ExoGENI sites, instead set the Link Type to "(any)" and pick any two ExoGENI aggregates except "ExoGENI ExoSM".
|
- Bind each site to an aggregate. (If you are doing this as part of a tutorial, use the aggregates specified on your worksheet.)
- Click the Auto-IP button (it is below the Jacks pane). This will ensure that there IP address assigned to the links.
- Click Reserve Resources.

|
- The reservation may take a couple of minutes to complete. After the reservation completes, return to the slice page.
- While you are waiting for the nodes to be ready, click the Geo Map button. Wait for this page to load to see where your nodes are geographically located. Note that it may take a moment for your nodes to be drawn.

- Press the back button on your browser to return to the slice page. Wait for the nodes to be ready.
