Instructor access

If you are the instructor and have access to the server hosting the mini-Internet, you can directly access the containers using the various docker commands. First, type docker ps to get a list of all the containers running. The names of the hosts, switches and routers always follow the same convention. For instance, to access a shell of the ZURI router in AS1, just use the following command:

docker exec -it 1_LONDrouter bash

If you are in the router container, run vtysh to access the CLI of that router. The following example shows you how to access the switch S1 in the L2 network DCN of AS3:

sudo docker exec -it 3_L2_DCN_S1 bash

Hosts and switches do not have a CLI, so once you are in the container, you can start configuring them.
