Issue has been resolved now. You slice provisioning should work now.

FABRIC only allows SSH and few ICMP messages over the management interface. Hosting services on management network is not recommended. Instead, we recommend using data plane network for your service.

FABRIC serves as a secure sandbox, allowing students and researchers to experiment with potentially disruptive and vulnerable software architectures in a protected environment. When connecting external devices, such as laptops or servers, to nodes within a slice, it is crucial to employ secure methods like SSH tunnels. A Jupyter notebook example illustrates how to create SSH tunnels through the FABRIC bastion host. Alternatively, users can utilize personal VPNs like Tailscale for secure connections.

Exposing ports to the entire Internet is restricted, reserved only for exceptional cases where alternative solutions are not viable. Moreover, users undertaking such capabilities are responsible for deploying, maintaining, and ensuring the security of experiments, akin to a production data center. IPv4Ext and IPv6Ext services facilitate these capabilities.

For newcomers, getting acquainted with SSH tunnels is recommended due to their simplicity and security. If users have additional questions or require further guidance, they are encouraged to reach out.

Thanks,

Hi Robin,

There are libvirt issues on the worker your VMs are being created. We are looking at the issue and will keep you informed. However, could you please try using a different site than AMST in the meanwhile to unblock you?

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Thanks,

Komal

No, you don’t need to run “add/remove SSH keys” notebook. By default, when you create a slice, keys specified in your fabric_rc are already added to the VMs.

@Sanjana – your config looks correct. Could you please try creating a slice and try SSH? If the SSH still fails, could you please share your public key: /home/fabric/work/fabric_config/slice_key.pub

I can verify the correct key is being passed to the VM or not from backend.

Thanks,

Komal

@Vaiden – Issue has been resolved. You may have to do the following to resolve in your slice:

• Remove MAX VM and FabNetv4 Network Service connected to it
• Submit
• Add Max VM and FabNetv4 Network Service
• Submit

Thanks,

Komal

@Sanjana,

Could you please share the output of following commands:?

cat ~/work/fabric_config/fabric_rc

cat ~/work/fabric_config/ssh_config

ls -ltr ~/work/fabric_config

Thanks,

Komal

[Komal Thareja]

@Sanjana – Could you please remove this file if it exists ~/work/fabric_config/ssh_config and run the validate_and_config.ipynb  notebook again?

Please try SSH to VMs via command line and share the error you see if it still fails.

Thanks,

Komal

[Komal Thareja]

@Sanjana – glad to hear that you were able to create a slice successfully, are you still facing errors when you SSH to the VMs?

Thanks,

Komal

[Komal Thareja]

@Sanjana,

Could you please follow the notebook: jupyter-exanples-1.6.*/configure_and_validate.ipynb to ensure your configuration is correct? Please try creating a slice after that and let us know if you still run into errors.

 

Thanks,

Komal

Good morning Nagmmat,

This looks like a config issue – specifically incorrect/missing project id. Could you please verify your config using the notebook jupyter-examples-1.6.*/configure_and_validate.ipynb?

Please let us know if you still run into errors.

Thanks,

Komal

Good morning Bruce,

This error can be ignored. We will fix this in the next version.

Thanks,

Komal
