Accessing the Switches 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@lab.kenet.or.ke   +------------------+ --serial-- [switch BB11]
             user nsrc:SW11@lab.kenet.or.ke   |                  | --serial-- [switch SW11]
                                              |                  |
                You ----- SSH --->----------- | lab.kenet.or.ke  | 
                                              |                  |
             user nsrc:BB51@lab.kenet.or.ke   |                  | --serial-- [switch BB51]
             user nsrc:SW52@lab.kenet.or.ke   +------------------+ --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@lab.kenet.or.ke for BB12
  nsrc:SW52@lab.kenet.or.ke for SW52 


If using Putty on Windows:

    1. In the `Host Name' box, enter lab.kenet.or.ke
    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 nsrc:SWITCH lab.kenet.or.ke

    ... 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!                           *
 ****************************************************************

 **********************************************************************
 * THE PASSWORD WILL BE PROVIDED IN CLASS                             *

 * THE BREAK SEQUENCE TO EXIT EACH SWITCH IS ~.                      *

II. Access the routers

Just like for the Switches , 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 lab.kenet.or.ke
    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 nsrc:ROUTER lab.kenet.or.ke

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

    nsrc:R11
    nsrc:R12

    etc.
