Accessing the Switches, Workstations and Routers for the L2 and L3 Labs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


I. Access the switches


Using the topology diagram and the following list to identify your
devices and ssh to the terminal server:

    Group 1 Switches : BB11, BB12, SW11, SW12
    Group 2 Switches : BB21, BB22, SW21, SW22
    Group 3 Switches : BB31, BB32, SW31, SW32
    Group 4 Switches : BB41, BB42, SW41, SW42
    Group 5 Switches : BB51, BB52, SW51, SW52

Each person in the group chooses a switch they will manage:

    Remember:   1 person = 1 switch

All the switches will be accessed via their serial console.

Access to the consoles will take place via a terminal server
using the Secure Shell (SSH), using a different user for each
serial port:

             user nsrc:BB11   +------------------+ --serial-- [switch BB11]
             user nsrc:SW11   |                  | --serial-- [switch SW11]
                              |                  |
You ----- SSH --->----------- | con.lab.nsrc.org | 
                              |                  |
             user nsrc:BB51   |                  | --serial-- [switch BB51]
             user nsrc:SW52   +------------------+ --serial-- [switch SW52]


EXAMPLE:

  If you are in Group 1, and you want to log in to switch BB12, you
  would ssh as the USER "nsrc:SWITCH", for example:
  
  nsrc:BB12 for BB12
  nsrc:SW52 for SW52 


If using Putty on Windows:

    1. In the `Host Name' box, enter con.lab.nsrc.org
    2. Press the `Open' button, and wait until you see a login prompt:

  login as:

    ... then enter the username "nsrc:SWITCH as chosen above.

If you are using Linux:

    ssh -l nsrc:SWITCH con.lab.nsrc.org

    ... and remember to change SWITCH with the device you have chosen:

    nsrc:BB11
    nsrc:SW21

    etc.

 ****************************************************************
 *  PLEASE LOG INTO THE PROPER SWITCH FOR YOUR GROUP AND DO NOT *
 *  LOG IN TO ANOTHER GROUP'S SWITCH!                           *
 ****************************************************************

 **********************************************************************
 * NO PASSWORDS SHOULD BE REQUIRED!  IF YOU ARE ASKED FOR A PASSWORD, *
 * MOST LIKELY YOU HAVE NOT LOGGED INTO A SWITCH                      *
 **********************************************************************



II. Access the workstations


Now, just as before for the switches, we are going to connect to
the workstations (Linux).

    Group 1 Workstations : ws1, ws6
    Group 2 Workstations : ws2, ws7
    Group 3 Workstations : ws3, ws8
    Group 4 Workstations : ws4, ws9
    Group 5 Workstations : ws5, ws10

    Remember:   1 person = 1 Workstation

If using Putty on Windows:

    1. In the `Host Name' box, enter wsX.lab.nsrc.org           # where X = 1 - 10
    2. Press the `Open' button, and wait until you see a login prompt:

  login as:

    ... then enter the username "nsrc" as chosen above.

Access to the Linux workstations is via SSH, for example:

    ssh -l nsrc wsX.lab.nsrc.org                        # where X = 1 - 10

    The username is *always* nsrc on the workstations

III. Access the routers

Just like for the Switches and Workstations, we're now going
to access the routers.

In the same fashion, once you have decided (or been told) which
router you will configure:

    Group 1 Routers      : R11, R12, R13
    Group 2 Routers      : R21, R22, R23
    Group 3 Routers      : R31, R32, R33
    Group 4 Routers      : R41, R42, R43
    Group 5 Routers      : R51, R52, R53


    Remember:   1 person = 1 Router

If using Putty on Windows:

    1. In the `Host Name' box, enter con.lab.nsrc.org
    2. Press the `Open' button, and wait until you see a login prompt:

  login as:

    ... then enter the username "nsrc:ROUTER as chosen above, where
    router will be the device you will manage:

    nsrc:R11 if it's R11
    nsrc:R12 if it's R12

    etc.

From a Linux shell:

    ssh -l nsrc:ROUTER con.lab.nsrc.org

    ... and remember to change ROUTER with the device you have chosen:

    nsrc:R11
    nsrc:R12

    etc.
