# Notes on the MCity specific challenge

Michigan is hosting the challenge on a server they run. The server ip is
`141.211.37.251`. To log in, we need to use the username `stanford`. As
mentioned above, you should check out their documentation to better
understand the process. As a quick refresher, you should have a terminal
in which you can explicitly run the command
`ssh [email protected] -L 2000:localhost:2000 -L 2001:localhost:2001 -L 2002:localhost:2002`.
This will forward the 2000-2002 ports of your local machine to Michigan's
server where the Carla simulation is running. Before running on the
Michigan server, you should add a timeslot to the
