What was done by WP3(from last EVO meeting) • SVC implementation is just before completion (CP, Lab GW) • Remote access, Noticeboard+Reservation system, Access to task documents, Supporting Systems • Only dummy authentication is implemented now, we wait for UBE-CH’s Shibboleth integration solution • Extensive testing is necessary • Creation of simulated distributed environment for internal testing • simulates two partner’s labs and CP • http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Internal_Testing_Environment
Implemented supporting systems • Prototype of Configuration Clearing Controller • Power-cycling using Power Switch Controller • http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Configuration_Clearing_Controller • Prototype of Power Switch Controller • Encapsulates single APC AP-7952 power switch • http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Power_Switch_Controller • Simple prototype of Linux-based Terminal Server • http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Linux-based_Terminal_Server
Nearest Planned WP3 Work • Extensive testing on Internal Testing Platform • to correct as many bugs as possible before real piloting starts • Completion of installation documentation • Input for WP6 • SVC SVN may be made accessible from outside of VSB-CZ now • Suggestion for other partners how to adapt their labs for SVC • only basic ideas, detailed plan is in competence of WP6
Non-WP3 activities • Dissemination • Article about SVC architecture ("ARCHITECTURE OF SEMI-VIRTUAL CAMPUS FOR EDUCATION IN DISTRIBUTED DATA NETWORK LABORATORY“ accepted for ICETA conference • “Integration of Computer Networks Laboratories in Context of European Commission Project Edinet". Seminar Modern Computer Network Technologies and Embedded Systems for Communications (29.5.2008, VSB-TU Ostrava) • 7th Annual Netacad conference, Stará Lesná (SK), 12.-14.6.2008 - Edinet mentioned in Virtlab presentation "Distributed Virtual Networking Laboratory Environment for NetAcad“ • WP2: • Final version of task on BGP route optimization in Edinet format was prepared
Questions to solve • Final decision who will host/maintain/patch Common Portal during piloting phase • FHJ-AT ? • What information does WP4 need to prepare printable versions of SVC usage manuals for various user roles ? • Please start with SVC architecture design specification • http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/SVC_Technical_Infrastructure_Architecture_Design • Familiarize with Common Portal GUI (edinet-cp.cs.vsb.cz) of internal testing platform • (see http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Internal_Testing_Environment)
What do we need from other partners/WPs (1) • FHJ-AT • Bugtracking system configured according to our specification • http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Bugtracking_system • Developing of scripts for easy replication of Management Network VPN Gateways • in cooperation with WP3 staff • Definition of security measures for production Common Portal and Lab Management Network VPN Gateways • acessible permanently from any place of the Internet • hosted on Linux Debian/Etch • Example configuration of OpenVPN virtual L2 topology link(s) for Linux-based Topology VPN gateways • Use http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Remote_Access_and_Lab_Interconnection#Lab_Interconnection_Implementation_Example examle topogy • IT-FI • CSSs for Common Portal and application for user account management (will be created by UBE-CH) • WP3 will inform IT-FI after internal testing finishes (beginning of July)
What do we need from other partners/WPs (2) • UBE-CH • Implementation of Shibboleth Identity Provider • Implementation of authentication and getting user attributes from respective Identity Provider into Common Portal AAA function (dummy now) • Implementation of WWW GUI for management of user accounts (user attributes) on Local AAA Servers (Shibboleth with Identity Providers) • See http://edinet.cs.vsb.cz/index.php/Implementation_of_AAA_Infrastructure for detailed specification
