3. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation3GENI Introduction – SIGCSE ‘14 – 5 March 2014www.geni.net Motivation GENI provides an environment that: –Requires little setup –Requires little infrastructure –Doesn’t require the student to be physically present (aka students can use it at home) –Is resilient to user mistakes and typos (students can always start over) Today's exercise will introduce you to a lab assignment that is used in Introduction to Networking classes

5. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation5GENI Introduction – SIGCSE ‘14 – 5 March 2014www.geni.net Goal of the exercise Learn how to configure static routes using the Linux route command Debug routing in a simple topology Setup the routing as indicated in the figure –Packets from A sent to IP address 192.168.2.12 on node C should be routed via node B. And vis versa. –Note that Node B is initially configured with IP forwarding off
