  Hands on Fiber Cables Objectives Get familiar with fiber cables and fiber modules Introduction Fiber is used instead of ethernet in now a days since there is no Electrical Magnetic Interference on fiber cables like Ethernet cables. As well as the speed of the fiber cables over ethernet cables.  Method Cisco and HP, fiber module enabled routers were used and experienced the fiber cables by setting up a simple network using routers and switches. Figure 10.01 : Fibe Module PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED Changing the module mode whenever the module(Figure 10.01) is changed

VXLAN Tunnelling Objectives Configure switches, routers for implementing VXLAN and do load testing Introduction Virtual Extensible Local Area Network,VXLAN are widely used  for supporting to address the scalability in mostly data centers where cloud computing is applied in large scale. VLANs are implemented over L2 and in VXLANs, they are implemented as L@ tunnels over L3.  VXLANs supports more virtual domains than VLAN is being capable of providing. VXLAN tunnel endpoints are connected to routers and the VXLAN tunnels are deployed between routers as shown in FIgure 8.01. Figure 8.01 : Setup for VXLAN tunneling Method For implementing the setup, two HP MSR routers(HP MSR2013 and HP MSR3012) and two HP switches(HP proCurve 3500yl, HP A5500) were used. Figure 8.02 : Configured Setup As shown in Figure 8.02,set up was deployed with the ip addresses as shown. VXLANs are configured in the interfaces those are connected to routers and other interfaces were configured as VLANs. And two

   Indico Event Management System Objectives To test the requirements for LEARN for handling workshop and conferences. Introduction Indico is a software, by CERN which can be used for event management including conferences, meetings or workshops etc. And ability to change limited characteristics on the software according to client’s requirements. Method Indico was  installed in a ubuntu installed virtual-box for testing the requirements for LEARN for handling workshops, workshop materials and conferences. Figure 5.01 : Edited Indico Dashboard As shown in Figure 5.01 above, the indico software was edited with injecting LEARN logo for handling events. And as in the Figure 5.02, the window for general setting is shown. Figure 5.02 : General settings window in Indico Figure 5.03 : Event As shown in the figure 5.03, A workshop was initialised with the details in indico platform for testing. Figure 5.04 : Privacy on Events Privacy on the events can be handled as show
