It establishes core building blocks and abstractions that more complex, specialized hardware components inherit from and build upon. The key elements defined in ``base.py`` are: ``NetworkInterface`` ==================== - Abstract base class for network interfaces like NICs. Defines common attributes like MAC address, speed, MTU. - Requires subclasses to implement ``enable()``, ``disable()``, ``send_frame()`` and ``receive_frame()``. - Provides basic state description and request handling capabilities. ``Node`` ======== The Node class stands as a central component in ``base.py``, acting as the superclass for all network nodes within a PrimAITE simulation. Node Attributes --------------- See :ref:`Node Attributes` .. _Node Start up and Shut down: Node Start up and Shut down --------------------------- Nodes are powered on and off over multiple timesteps. By default, the node ``start_up_duration`` and ``shut_down_duration`` is 3 timesteps. Example code where a node is turned on: .. code-block:: python from primaite.simulator.network.hardware.base import Node from primaite.simulator.network.hardware.node_operating_state import NodeOperatingState node = Node(hostname="pc_a") assert node.operating_state is NodeOperatingState.OFF # By default, node is instantiated in an OFF state node.power_on() # power on the node assert node.operating_state is NodeOperatingState.BOOTING # node is booting up for i in range(node.start_up_duration + 1): # apply timestep until the node start up duration node.apply_timestep(timestep=i) assert node.operating_state is NodeOperatingState.ON # node is in ON state If the node needs to be instantiated in an on state: .. code-block:: python from primaite.simulator.network.hardware.base import Node from primaite.simulator.network.hardware.node_operating_state import NodeOperatingState node = Node(hostname="pc_a", operating_state=NodeOperatingState.ON) assert node.operating_state is NodeOperatingState.ON # node is in ON state Setting ``start_up_duration`` and/or ``shut_down_duration`` to ``0`` will allow for the ``power_on`` and ``power_off`` methods to be completed instantly without applying timesteps: .. code-block:: python from primaite.simulator.network.hardware.base import Node from primaite.simulator.network.hardware.node_operating_state import NodeOperatingState node = Node(hostname="pc_a", start_up_duration=0, shut_down_duration=0) assert node.operating_state is NodeOperatingState.OFF # node is in OFF state node.power_on() assert node.operating_state is NodeOperatingState.ON # node is in ON state node.power_off() assert node.operating_state is NodeOperatingState.OFF # node is in OFF state Node Behaviours/Functions ------------------------- - **connect_nic()**: Connects a ``NetworkInterface`` to the node for network communication. - **disconnect_nic()**: Removes a ``NetworkInterface`` from the node. - **receive_frame()**: Handles the processing of incoming network frames. - **apply_timestep()**: Advances the state of the node according to the simulation timestep. - **power_on()**: Initiates the node, enabling all connected Network Interfaces and starting all Services and Applications, taking into account the ``start_up_duration``. - **power_off()**: Stops the node's operations, adhering to the ``shut_down_duration``. - **ping()**: Sends ICMP echo requests to a specified IP address to test connectivity. - **has_enabled_network_interface()**: Checks if the node has any network interfaces enabled, facilitating network communication. - **show()**: Provides a summary of the node's current state, including network interfaces, operational status, and other key attributes. The Node class handles installation of system software, network connectivity, frame processing, system logging, and power states. It establishes baseline functionality while allowing subclassing to model specific node types like hosts, routers, firewalls etc. The flexible architecture enables composing complex network topologies. User, UserManager, and UserSessionManager ========================================= The ``base.py`` module also includes essential classes for managing users and their sessions within the PrimAITE simulation. These are the ``User``, ``UserManager``, and ``UserSessionManager`` classes. The base ``Node`` class comes with ``UserManager``, and ``UserSessionManager`` classes pre-installed. User Class ---------- The ``User`` class represents a user in the system. It includes attributes such as ``username``, ``password``, ``disabled``, and ``is_admin`` to define the user's credentials and status. Example Usage ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Creating a user: .. code-block:: python user = User(username="john_doe", password="12345") UserManager Class ----------------- The ``UserManager`` class handles user management tasks such as creating users, authenticating them, changing passwords, and enabling or disabling user accounts. It maintains a dictionary of users and provides methods to manage them effectively. Example Usage ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Creating a ``UserManager`` instance and adding a user: .. code-block:: python user_manager = UserManager() user_manager.add_user(username="john_doe", password="12345") Authenticating a user: .. code-block:: python user = user_manager.authenticate_user(username="john_doe", password="12345") UserSessionManager Class ------------------------ The ``UserSessionManager`` class manages user sessions, including local and remote sessions. It handles session creation, timeouts, and provides methods for logging users in and out. Example Usage ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Creating a ``UserSessionManager`` instance and logging a user in locally: .. code-block:: python session_manager = UserSessionManager() session_id = session_manager.local_login(username="john_doe", password="12345") Logging a user out: .. code-block:: python session_manager.local_logout() Practical Examples ------------------ Below are unit tests which act as practical examples illustrating how to use the ``User``, ``UserManager``, and ``UserSessionManager`` classes within the context of a client-server network simulation.
