= Lab Setup =

In this Hands-on we will install all dependencies and basic network design.  We will use Oracle Virtual Box and Smokeping software in the lab network.


Users need to connect the host PC to home network with DHCP enabled. We recommend using the wired network as much as possible.


For each User following software and files are required;

*  '''Virtual Box''' 
* '''Working Network setup from last workshop'''


[[span(style=color: #A00000,For this Lab, we will use the network we created in our last workshop - ''' Workshop on Tuning up Campus Network'''  . For more information please refer to the following link. )]]

> Virtualized appliances will be connected via UDP tunnels and these must be neglected for your actual physical installations.
