# COSI Networking Tutorial

The objective of these documents is to teach one how to administrate the COSI network stack (as well as an introduction into various protocols and such)

## Files

* `basics.md`
  * Goes over the basics about the different types of protocols and tools used
* `EX4500-40F.md`
  * Goes into depth about how to administrate a Juniper EX4500-40F network switch
  * As of writing, this is the core switch that operates the labs
* `TL-SG3424.md`
  * Goes into depth about hw to administrate a TP-Link TL-SG3424 network switch
  * As of writing, this switch model is used for our copper links in the network and server racks

## Where to start

I would personally start in `basics.md` and get to understand the concepts involved.

Once you have done that, grab `swm4` (if you can - as of writing, is used to teach on) and follow the tutorial for the TL-SG3424.

If you finish with that, you may be given permission to use `swf1`, which as of writing is the core switch, and follow the tutorial for the EX-4500-40F.
