Ryu controller with HP 3500yl, using openflow 1.3

[lionaneesh]

Hello,

I am using a HP 3500yl openflow 1.3 capable sdn switch. I am trying to get a basic topology working, I have created 2 VLANS one vlan for the controller and another for the hosts. The second vlan containing the hosts is driven by the controller.

Here's what my running config looks like:

; J9310A Configuration Editor; Created on release #K.15.15.0012
   untagged 1-2,6-24
hostname "HP-3500yl-24G-PoEP"
module 1 type j93xxa
ip routing
snmp-server community "public" unrestricted
openflow
   controller-id 1 ip 192.168.2.2 controller-interface vlan 1
   instance "test01"
      listen-port 8080
      member vlan 30
      controller-id 1
      version 1.3
      enable
      exit
   enable
   exit
vlan 1
   name "openflow"
   no untagged 3-5
   ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
   exit
vlan 30
   name "VLAN30"
   untagged 3-5
   ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0
   exit

I am trying to run Ryu controller's example rest_router present here: https://github.com/osrg/ryu/blob/master/ryu/app/rest_router.py

I have tried running simple_switch and rest_router example scripts with openflow version set to 1.0 on the switch and everything works as it should: the flows are being pushed and the hosts can ping each other. But I need pipeline support, which was only added in openflow 1.3. The rest_router example with openflow 1.3 doesn't seem to work. On the contrary, the simple_switch example seems to work on 1.3 as well: I can see the flows are pushed down to the switch and the hosts can ping each other.

Is any of you aware of running into problems with rest_router running on openflow 1.3, or anything I could try to make this work?

But when I try to get the rest_router example to work. No flows are pushed and none of the hosts can ping each other:

For my experiment, I need to make changes on top of rest_router, hence need that example to work.

Regardless, I hope you're well and happy -
