Server
Overview
The Server node type is used for running Tiny Core Linux VMs in the lab. These VMs are very lightweight and provide an efficient way to add host nodes to a lab.
Features
Shell commands in the configuration field of the node are just sourced as user root
when the node starts up. Tiny Core Linux is basically a RAM-disk-based distribution. Unless you initiate a backup using the backup
command, nothing is saved when restarting / reloading a node.
The default username is tc
without a password. The Server image included on the refplat ISO also includes a user cisco
with password cisco
.
Additional packages can be installed using the interactive tce
command. Installing packages, of course, requires external connectivity to reach the repository servers. For further information, see the Tiny Core Linux documentation.
