** Configure Core NetworkD
Core's network interface is statically configured using the

-=/etc/systemd/network/=. That file provides Core's address on the
-private Ethernet, the campus name server and search domain, and the
-default route through Gate. A second route, through Core itself to
-Front, is advertised to other hosts, and is routed through a
-WireGuard™ interface connected to Front's public WireGuard™ VPN.
-
-The configuration needs the name of its main (only) Ethernet
-interface, an example of which is given here. (A clever way to
-extract that name from ~ansible_facts~ would be appreciated. The
-~ansible_default_ipv4~ fact was an empty hash at first boot on a

** The CA Command

notebook.

+
+- ~vboxnet2~ :: A third Host-only network, used only to directly
+ connect the host to ~front~.
In this simulation the IP address for ~front~ is not a public address
but a private address on the NAT network ~premises~. Thus ~front~ is
-not accessible to the administrator's notebook (the host). To work
-around this restriction, ~front~ gets a second network interface
-connected to the ~vboxnet1~ network and used only for ssh access from
-the host.[fn:4]
+not accessible by the host, by Ansible on the administrator's
+notebook. To work around this restriction, ~front~ gets a second
+network interface connected to the ~vboxnet2~ network. The address of
+this second interface is used by Ansible to access ~front~.[fn:4]
The networks described above are created and "started" with the
following ~VBoxManage~ commands.
VBoxManage natnetwork start --netname premises
VBoxManage hostonlyif create # vboxnet0
VBoxManage hostonlyif ipconfig vboxnet0 --ip=192.168.56.10

+VBoxManage hostonlyif ipconfig vboxnet2 --ip=192.168.58.1
#+END_SRC
-Note that the first host-only network, ~vboxnet0~, gets DHCP service
-by default, but that will interfere with the service being tested on
-~core~, so it must be explicitly disabled. Only the NAT network
-~premises~ should have a DHCP server enabled.
+Note that only the NAT network ~premises~ should have a DHCP server
+enabled.

** The Test Machines
The virtual machines are created by ~VBoxManage~ command lines in the
following sub-sections. They each start with a recent Debian release
(e.g. =debian-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso=) in their simulated DVD
-drives. As in [[*The Hardware][The Hardware]] preparation process being simulated, a few
-additional software packages are installed. Unlike in [[*The Hardware][The Hardware]]
-preparation, machines are moved to their final networks and /then/
-remote access is authorized. (They are not accessible via ~ssh~ on
-the VirtualBox NAT network where they first boot.)
+drives. Preparation of [[*The Hardware][The Hardware]] installed additional software
+packages and keys while the machines had Internet access. They were
+then moved to the new campus network where Ansible completed the
+configuration without Internet access.
+
+Preparation of the test machines is automated by "preparatory scripts"
+that install the same "additional software packages" and the same test
+keys given in the examples. The scripts are run on each VM while they
+are still attached to the host's NAT network and have Internet access.
+They prepare the machine to reboot on the simulated campus network
+without Internet access, ready for final configuration by Ansible and
+the first launch of services. The "move to campus" is simulated by
+shutting each VM down, executing a ~VBoxManage~ command line or two,
+and restarting.
+
+*** The Test Wireguard™ Keys <<privkeys>>
+
+All of the private keys used in the example/test configuration are
+listed here. The first three are copied to
+=/etc/wireguard/private-key= on the servers: ~front~, ~gate~ and
+~core~. The rest are installed on the test client to give it
+different personae. In actual use, private keys are generated on the
+servers and clients, and stay there. Only the public keys are
+collected (and registered with the ~./inst client~ command).

*** The Test Front Machine
Debian 12.5.0 (recently downloaded) in its CDROM drive. The exact
command lines were given in the previous section.
-After Debian is installed (as detailed above) ~front~ is shut down and
-its primary network interface moved to the simulated Internet, the NAT
-network ~premises~. ~front~ also gets a second network interface, on
-the host-only network ~vboxnet1~, to make it directly accessible to
-the administrator's notebook (as described in [[*The Test Networks][The Test Networks]]).
+After Debian is installed (as detailed above) and the machine
+rebooted, the administrator copies the following script to the machine
+and executes it.
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
-VBoxManage modifyvm front --nic1 natnetwork --natnetwork1 premises
-VBoxManage modifyvm front --nic2 hostonly --hostonlyadapter2 vboxnet1
+The script is copied through an intermediary, an account on the local
+network thus accessible to both the host and guests on the host's NAT
+networks. If ~USER@SERVER~ is such an account, the script would be
+copied and executed thusly:
+
+: notebook$ scp private/test-front-prep USER@SERVER:
+: notebook$ scp -r Secret/ssh_front/ USER@SERVER:
+
+: sysadm@front$ scp USER@SERVER:test-front-prep ./
+: sysadm@front$ scp -r USER@SERVER:ssh_front/ ./
+: sysadm@front$ ./test-front-prep
+
+The script starts by installing additional software packages. The
+~wireguard~ package is installed so that =/etc/wireguard/= is created.
+The ~systemd-resolved~ package is installed because a reboot seems the
+only way to get name service working afterwards. As ~front~ will
+always have Internet access in the cloud, the rest of the packages are
+installed just to shorten Ansible's work later.
