SDN Training - Open daylight installation + example with mininet

1. OpenDaylight, FloodLight stallation, and Example with Mininet
OpenDaylight-Installation + Example with Mininet
https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/OpenDaylight_Controller:Installation
Download VM with both OpenDayLight, FloodLight and Mininet
http://yuba.stanford.edu/~srini/tutorial/SDN_tutorial_VM_64bit.ova
user: ubuntu
password: ubuntu
Edit /etc/bash.bashrc
Add the following line:
PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/trema-0.3.19/objects/openvswitch/bin
Mininet Sample Virtual Network
Start Minit with this topology
su sudo mn --topo=tree,3 --mac --switch=ovsk --controller=remote,ip=a.b.c.d
where IP is the address of your VM (Remote OpenDayLight Controller VM/Server)
OpenDaylight Example
Start OpenDayLight
cd opendaylight/opendaylight/distribution/opendaylight/target/distribution.opendaylightosgipackage/opendaylight
sudo ./run.sh

2. Open OpenDayLight GUI
localhost:8080
user: admin
password: admin
Using the Simple Forwarding Application
The OpenDaylight Controller includes an application called Simple Forwarding that lets you use
the basic services for making forwarding decisions and install flows across all devices on the
Openflow network. This application discovers the presence of a host via ARP message and
installs dest-only /32 entries across all switches in the network, with the corresponding output
ports toward the host.

3. 1. With OpenDaylight Controller and Mininet running as described in previous sections,
log into the web interface.

4. 2. Drag and drop devices to organize the topology into its logical arrangement, then save
the configuration.

5. 3. Click the Add Gateway IP Address button (shown above) and add the IP and subnet
of 10.0.0.254/8
4 Confirm that hosts are now reachable from one another. On the console where Mininet
is running, have one host ping another.
mininet> h1 ping h7

6. 5. Click the Troubleshooting tab and then load the Flow Details for one of the switches.

7. 6. View the Port Details.

8. FloodLight Example
Start FloodLight
cd floodlight
./floodlight.sh
Note: use the same previous Mininet Virtual network
sudo mn --topo=tree,3 --mac --switch=ovsk --controller=remote,ip=a.b.c.d
Open OpenDayLight GUI
localhost:8080/ui/index.html

10. Sample FloodLight Java Application
Avior is an application built outside of floodlight that gives network administrators a graphical user
interface to support their needs. Avior eliminates dependency on using python scripts or viewing the
restAPI in order to monitor or manipulate the network.
Download from: http://openflow.marist.edu/avior
Enter IP of the remote controller (i.e. machine running FloodLight).
