[openflow-discuss] Openflow Wireless n-casting

2012-05-09 Thread Kevin Han
Hi, I'm trying to run the openflow n-casting demo. The demo uses the "bicast" controller which I downloaded off the wiki page. However, I can't figure out how to compile the controller since it seems to reference certain components (flowdb and xercesc for example) that do not exist. Was this contr

Hi Kevin, Yes. That controller was written for an "ancient" version of NOX. NOX-classic should have nearly everything you need to get the demo going, but expect to code. The main difficulty here lies in provisioning the n-casting route, meaning I need to install flow rules in the switches that f

Greetings, We are currently setting up a basic Openflow Wireless testbed with three PC Engine AP and a Pronto 3290 switch in our labs. We have a few questions regarding the connection between the elements: 1) There are three controller path setups possible: L3 inband, tunneling and L2 inband.

I believe you're basically asking the switch to route (or at least switch) between the management port and the dataplane. The short answer is that the switch won't do this and it's not planned to be supported. You probably want "physical in-band management" where the Pronto switch is managed

Hi Dan, Actually, I was wondering about how the OpenRoads deployment was setup. I thought the APs were attached to the OpenFlow switches? Or are they not Pronto switches? In other words, how is the OpenRoads controller setup in order to control both the switches and the AP at the same time? Th

Hi Heming, One way is to have only the AP in inband mode. Get your switch to the controller, then make sure the controller is also accessible to the AP on the datapath. We have had such a setup before. It should work. Regards KK On 9 May 2012 18:42, Heming Wen wrote: > Hi Dan, > > Actually,

Ok. I found out openflow is a standard linux package that has an openflow switch and an openflow controller. Now I need to modify my question: If I don't need to use openflow switch and controller coming with linux, and I am using NOX and OpenvSwitch, do I still need to install openflow package fi

You can install just the wireshark dissector if you want, independent of the switch or controller. In fact, the wireshark dissector is getting a little out of date (hard to compile on modern linux's, hard to make it work for modern wireshark versions) and folks are working on a new version. I'll

Hi Yimin, I think you don't need to install openflow package. Its just that you need to install the openflow plugin for wireshark. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks Manik Sidana -Original Message- From: openflow-discuss-boun...@lists.stanford.edu [mailto:openflow-discuss-boun...@lists.s

Sorry, I'm not that familiar with the OpenRoads stuff. In any case, you may be looking at two tiers here. The most separated is to have two controllers, one that talks to the Pronto directly thru its management port and one that talks to the APs via the data plane of the Pronto. We use this
