Reserve resources

For this experiment, we will use a topology with four connected workstations on a single network segment, with IP addresses configured as follows:

• romeo: 10.10.0.100
• juliet: 10.10.0.101
• hamlet: 10.10.0.102
• ophelia: 10.10.0.103

each with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.

To set up this topology in the GENI Portal, create a slice, click on “Add Resources”, and load the RSpec from the following URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ffund/tcp-ip-essentials/gh-pages/rspecs/single-segment.xml

Refer to the monitor website to identify an InstaGENI site that has many “free VMs” available. Then bind to an InstaGENI site and reserve your resources. Wait for them to become available for login (“turn green” on your canvas) and then SSH into each, using the details given in the GENI Portal.

Use ifconfig -a to view the network interface configuration on each host, and save the output for your own reference.
