Introduction

The Carbon cluster is reachable from networks outside Argonne only through SSH tunneling or VPN. Either way has advantages and disadvantages. This page explains how to connect through an ssh tunnel.

Tunneling is a two-step process:

  1. Establish the tunnel.
  2. Connect through the tunnel.

Overview slides (pdf) and specifics for Carbon are detailed elsewhere. The PuTTY setup for both steps is illustrated below.

Note that the PuTTY Configuration panel is somewhat idiosyncratic to operate, notably regarding the concept of Sessions. Numerous screenshots on Google provide general guidance.

Configuring

The following steps need to be performed once for each workstation you wish to use to access Carbon.

Connecting

The first step needs to be performed once per your Windows session.

The next step can be repeated as often as desired.
