Blox OFController User Guide

(work in progress)

The steps needed to use this controller with Linc switch are below.

  1. Make and run LINC by doing the following:
$ sudo make rel
$ sudo ./rel/linc/bin/linc console
  1. To find out switch Dpid, in linc switch console, type
>1 linc_logic:get_datapath_id(SwitchId).

The output will be like:

"00:0C:29:C9:8E:AE:00:00"

To check flow_table:

>1 linc_us4_flow:get_flow_table(SwitchId,0).
  1. Run the controller:
$ java -jar of_controller.jar
  1. Use rest API to setup flow-entry. Below some instances:
$ curl -d '{"switch":"00:0C:29:C9:8E:AE:00:00", "name":"flow-mod-1", "priority":"32768", "ingress-port":"1", "active":"true", "apply-actions":"output=1"}' http://localhost:8080/ff/of/controller/restapi

$ curl -d '{"switch":"00:0C:29:C9:8E:AE:00:00", "name":"flow-mod-1", "priority":"32768", "ingress-port":"2","active":"true"}' http://localhost:8080/ff/of/controller/restapi

$ curl -d '{"switch":"00:0C:29:AC:93:43:00:00", "name":"flow-mod-1", "priority":"32768", "ether-type":"0x0800", "active":"true"}' http://localhost:8080/ff/of/controller/restapi

$ curl -d '{"switch":"00:0C:29:AC:93:43:00:00", "name":"flow-mod-1", "priority":"32768", "ether-type":"0x0800", "dst-ip":"10.10.10.10","active":"true"}' http://localhost:8080/ff/of/controller/restapi

$ curl -d '{"switch":"00:90:FB:37:71:6E:00:00", "name":"flow-mod-1", "priority":"10", "ingress-port":"5","active":"true", "write-actions":"output=6"}' http://localhost:8080/ff/of/controller/restapi

$ curl -d '{"switch":"00:90:FB:37:71:6E:00:00", "name":"flow-mod-1", "priority":"10", "ingress-port":"6","active":"true", "actions":"output=5"}' http://localhost:8080/ff/of/controller/restapi
