Thanks, guys, very helpful. I think buying connector will be good choice to me, because I am going to write code that is sitting on development machine, and talk to the tab.

I’m honestly not 100% sure how it works. I do know though that in one of their initial big trials, a certain large SP was doing real-world BGP peerings over the Internet.

BTW, apparently a new dashboard was released last week. I haven’t seen it yet, though.

Ah yes, that’s true, I forgot about that. If I’m not much mistaken, it’s also done through a breakout VPN connection through a VM on your host machine, but there is that possibility. Then again, it’s just a pre-configured VPN VM.

As Marko said, you use Juniper’s SSL VPN to connect to your lab.

You also have the option of purchasing a connector license which allows the ability to connect your Junosphere lab to the outside world.

As far as I know, there is no outside access without the VPN connection. You could always open a case with Juniper to ask them directly. It would be an interesting thing to learn for sure! :-)

Thanks, Marko for this informative post. I am exploring Junosphare now. Some questions,

You said you can telnet to the virtual machines. Is this through JavaApplet or a regular telnet tool on my machine. Acutally, I am interested to know: do those machine provide public IPs (or domain names) for access from the internet? Like the Amazon EC2 does? Thanks,

A handy (Junos) knob to combine with RR configs is ‘allow’. It permits connections from any client in the specified prefix.

The problem is, neither of the descriptions gives me enough technical details to make an informed decision. I assumed what you wrote above and went with the option I thought gives me more flexibility.

FYI: Classroom is meant to be sold w/ educational materials. At THIS point, there is no functional difference between classroom and lab, but just so you know, that’s what the difference is.

It’s not exactly the same, but almost the same – a key difference! :-)

As I said, at this time, I’m after repeated functionality with the opportunity to improve. It’ll come.
