Edinet EVO Meeting June 26 2008 VSBCZ WP

Edinet EVO Meeting June 26, 2008 VSB-CZ, WP 3 Interim Progress Report Prepared by: Petr Grygárek

What was done by WP 3 (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_Env ironment

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_Cleari ng_Controller • Prototype of Power Switch Controller – Encapsulates single APC AP-7952 power switch – http: //edinet. cs. vsb. cz/index. php/Power_Switch_Contr oller • Simple prototype of Linux-based Terminal Server – http: //edinet. cs. vsb. cz/index. php/Linuxbased_Terminal_Server

Nearest Planned WP 3 Work • Extensive testing on Internal Testing Platform – to correct as many bugs as possible before real piloting starts • Completion of installation documentation – Input for WP 6 – 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 WP 6

Non-WP 3 activities • Dissemination – Article about SVC architecture ("ARCHITECTURE OF SEMIVIRTUAL 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) – 7 th Annual Netacad conference, Stará Lesná (SK), 12. -14. 6. 2008 - Edinet mentioned in Virtlab presentation "Distributed Virtual Networking Laboratory Environment for Net. Acad“ • WP 2: – 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 WP 4 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_Arc hitecture_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 WP 3 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 Open. VPN virtual L 2 topology link(s) for Linuxbased Topology VPN gateways • Use http: //edinet. cs. vsb. cz/index. php/Remote_Access_and_Lab_Interconnection#La b_Interconnection_Implementation_Example examle topogy • IT-FI – CSSs for Common Portal and application for user account management (will be created by UBE-CH) – WP 3 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/Implementatio n_of_AAA_Infrastructure for detailed specification

Thank you for your attention. Questions ?
