Hi Shreya, nice! the TL-WR1043ND devices aren't very powerful, but I've been working with a couple, and they are really fun. by default, the Pantou firmware is configured to look for a controller on 192.168.1.10 [1], attached to the blue WAN port. you'll also be able to SSH in that way -- the base station will have the address 192.168.1.1 [2]. you can also use that to interact with the OF switch remotely. for example: user@192.168.1.10$ dpctl add-flow tcp:192.168.1.1:6634 in_port=1,actions=output:2 user@192.168.1.10$ dpctl monitor tcp:192.168.1.1:6634 etc. once you go through the Pantou wiki page, there's no longer anything special about the fact that it's based on OpenWRT. it's just another box running the reference software switch. there are a few helpful things not on the Pantou page which you can find in the regular OpenWRT wiki such as securing the wireless networks, preserving your config files across updates, etc. I would suggest going through the OpenFlow tutorial to learn more about general topics: http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/OpenFlow_Tutorial cheers, Andrew [1] You can change this by editing /lib/openflow/ofprotocol.sh on the device. [2] You can change this by editing /etc/config/network on the device. _______________________________________________ openflow-discuss mailing list openflow-discuss@lists.stanford.edu https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/openflow-discuss
