Welcome to Netris Sandbox

Netris Sandbox is a ready-to-use environment for testing Netris automatic NetOps. We have pre-created some example services for you, details of which can be found in the “Provided Example Configurations” document. Feel free to view, edit, delete, and create new services. In case of any questions, reach out to us on Slack.

The credentials for the sandbox have been provided to you via email in response to your Sandbox request.

The Sandbox environment includes:

  • Netris Controller: A cloud-hosted Netris Controller, loaded with examples.

  • Switching fabric: Two spine switches and four leaf switches, all operated by Netris.

  • SoftGates: Two SoftGate gateway nodes for border routing, L4 Load Balancing, site-to-site VPN, and NAT. Both operated by Netris.

  • Linux servers: Five Linux servers, with root access where you can run any applications for your tests.

  • Kubernetes cluster: A 3 node Kubernetes cluster, user integratable with Netris controller, feel free to deploy any applications for your tests.

  • ISP: Internet upstream with IRIS ISP, providing the sandbox Internet connectivity with real-world routable public IP addresses.

Linux servers

Example pre-configured Netris services:

Accessing the Linux servers:

srv01-nyc: ssh demo@216.172.128.201 -p 30061
srv02-nyc: ssh demo@216.172.128.201 -p 30062
srv03-nyc: ssh demo@216.172.128.201 -p 30063
srv04-nyc: ssh demo@216.172.128.201 -p 30064
srv05-nyc: ssh demo@216.172.128.201 -p 30065

Kubernetes cluster

This Sandbox provides an up and running 3 node Kubernetes cluster. You can integrate it with the Netris Controller by installing the netris-operator. Step-by-step instructions are included in the “Learn Netris operations with Kubernetes” document.

Upstream ISP

This Sandbox also provides an upstream ISP service with real-world Internet routing configured through “BGP”. There are two pre-configured examples under Network → E-BGP , one using IPv4 and the other using IPv6, which are advertising the public IP subnets belonging to the Sandbox to the upstream ISP IRIS.
