| | 307 | === Tutorial, more modifications necessary. (8/27) === |
| | 308 | The !OpenFlow tutorials are up and running, but there exists a few issues, all in regards to how the nodes can be used as controllers: |
| | 309 | 1. The virtual switch needs a specific controller IP it can listen to (no dynamic discovery protocol for OFP as of now) |
| | 310 | 1. The OF VLAN must be made available to the node being used as controller. |
| | 311 | 1. BUT - trunking is not practical with the nodes (config script?) |
| | 312 | |
| | 313 | So when am experimenter uses a node as a OF controller, we need the following things to happen: |
| | 314 | 1. OF VLAN becomes accessible to that node |
| | 315 | 1. The virtual switch is informed of the node's IP address, so it can listen for it (the node has to have an IP address before it can be controller) |
| | 316 | |
| | 317 | I guess either script or manual configs are ok, but manual configs will need to give the user access to the CLI of the switch - this can be risky |
| | 318 | |
| | 319 | to-do: |
| | 320 | * brainstorm on different methods |
| | 321 | * look for possible dynamic VLAN methods on switch manual. |
| | 322 | * shell scripting? |
