| 25 | 25 | The dotted box (labeled sw_sb09) represents the !OpenFlow enabled NEC IP8800/S3640-48T2XW switch, currently running firmware supporting !OpenFlow v0.8.9. The switch is pre-configured so that ports 25-36 (the data VLAN, in red) is an !OpenFlow virtual switch that listens for a controller running on the SB9 Console. There exists a virtual connection between the controller and virtual switch, represented by the dotted red line. Two trunked connections exist on the sw_sb09 - one connects the setup with the ORBIT network (through sw_sb_top), and the other not only allows the console to communicate with the nodes, but also provides the secure controller-switch VLAN needed for the !OpenFlow setup. The experimenter would be able to monitor and manipulate the setup from the Console. |
