Tutorial of IPOP access point for a user

This tutorial guides users through the process of deploying IPOP on their computers to connect to a PRAGMA-ENT Access Point. In order to work, this tutorial assumes your PRAGMA-ENT site is currently running a PRAGMA-ENT IPOP Access Point - please contact one of the coordinators (below) to check if your site runs an Access Point.

If you are a system administrator who would like to deploy an access point, please follow this tutorial instead

1. Download the IPOP binary and controller file from the link below:

For CentOs/Ubuntu user

or you can use on of the commands below on your console:

wget http://www.acis.ufl.edu/~xetron/pragma-ent/ipop-pragma-0.1-centos.zip # for CentOs
wget http://www.acis.ufl.edu/~xetron/pragma-ent/ipop-pragma-0.1-ubuntu.zip # for Ubuntu

1. IPOP requires python-argparse package as a prerequisite. Install it if you don't have it. (You don't need this step if you are Ubuntu user)

sudo yum install python-argparse

1. Contact one of the coordinators by email to get a config file:

When you try contact, make sure to cc Dr Ichikawa.

1. Run ipop-tincan

sudo ./ipop-tincan-centos # For Centos
sudo ./ipop-tincan-ubuntu # For Ubuntu users

1. Use the config file provided from the coordinator and run the controller.

./gvpn_controller.py -c config.json

1. Now, you can see the ipop tap device when you list network interface.

ifconfig -a

1. You may attach this ipop tap to your linux bridge or Open vSwitch to extend the PRAMA-ENT network. Or you can run it without attaching to any bridge.
