The RPKI Workshop Demonstration #5: Creating Users and Allocating New Resources video shows how to use the RPKI.NET graphical interface to perform a number of administrative actions to manage the RPKI.NET system. The charts on this page are intended to be used with this video.

Notes:

  1. It is assumed the user will be running these commands on a local copy of the RPKI Workshop virtual machine. Instructions for downloading and setting up the RPKI Workshop VM may be found in the Workshop Demonstration #2 video, Installation and Setup.
  2. Most user names are specific to that VM and won't be used in a production environment. Similarly, the address ranges are purely for the sake of example.
  3. The tasks are broken down into a number of sub-tasks. Each sub-task is then divided into a number of steps. The GUI actions for each step are provided with a "Time Mark" to show where in the video each step takes place.
  4. The Time Marks are approximate. Most will be a couple seconds prior to the actual action taken in each step. This will hopefully provide a little context for the step prior to it actually being performed.
  5. The video is demonstrating how to use the GUI. Consequently, there will be some steps that are repetitive and won't necessarily be needed every time the sub-task or task is performed.
  6. The users are being added to the RPKI management system. They are not being added to the routers.
  7. The commands are all run in a web browser that is connected to the RPKI.NET administrative GUI. It is assumed the user has logged in to the GUI as the root user.
