This section of the website provides important information about the overall architecture of the OFELIA island at the University of Bristol (UNIVBRIS), UK as well as a step-by-step guide for using the different resources of the OFELIA island. This document is mainly aimed at experienced experimenters who are familiar with the different concepts of an OpenFlow network and are comfortable with configuring and using command line (CLI) tools to operate the testbed. In the near future, Fed4FIRE will have a fully-functioning web portal where it will be possible to perform the full reservation cycle without having to deal with CLI tools.
The OFELIA testbed is a networking testbed where experimenters can perform experiments based on OpenFlow. The OFELIA testbed at the University of Bristol started at the University of Essex, UK with the European project OFELIA in September 2010. More details about this project can be found on http://www.fp7-ofelia.eu/ . The role of UNIVBRIS is to offer an enhanced version of the OFELIA testbed to the Fed4FIRE project (http://fed4fire.eu/ ). Fed4FIRE is a federation of existing testbeds which may not be based on OpenFlow, in contrast with OFELIA.

Fed4FIRE First Level Support (FLS)
The basic status of the state of the aggregate managers of UNIVBRIS OFELIA can be found at https://flsmonitor.fed4fire.eu/ . The rows with Testbed Name “Ofelia (Bristol openflow)” and “Ofelia (Bristol vtam)” refer to the aggregate managers of the OpenFlow networking and Compute resources respectively. The “GetVersion” field indicates whether the relevant aggregate manager can be contacted (green colour) or not (red colour). The “Free Resources” field indicates whether the Virtual Wall 2 certicate authority can be used to interact with the aggregate managers. If the authority is valid, the field will be green or orange otherwise it will be red. The numeric value of the “Free Resources” field does not provide any meaningful information in the case of UNIVBRIS OFELIA since the resources at the testbed are virtualized and sliced for experimenters.
