HP2920 With OpenFlow 1.3 and Floodlight

[jaoh]

Hi Guys

I use an HP2920 and want to use OpenFlow 1.3 with the Project floodlight SDN Controller

The Handshake between controller and Switch seems to work. Their seems to be a problem with the host detection..

The controller dose not detect any active hosts.

Has any one a working configuration for the switch and floodlight ?

Is floodlight trying to write to table 0?  Can you reply with "show run" and "show openflow instance x"?

Thanks.

Here you go

How can I detect which tables are accesd by floodlight?

[Michael Patmon]

Sorry, also "show openflow instance x flows".  That will tell you which flows are in which table.

here yoiu go

Apologies for the delay, we've had a heck of a time getting floodlight up.  Still working on that...

In the meantime you might try changing the sw-table to enable writing to table 0.  There was a different controller that had that interop issue.

(config)# openflow instance x table-num sw-table-1 0

Ok, we got floodlight working (thanks to my colleague Benny).  Here's the openflow config;

openflow
   controller-id 4 ip 132.0.1.122 port 6653 controller-interface vlan 1321
   instance "flood"
      listen-port 6653
      member vlan 131
      controller-id 4
      version 1.3 only
      pipeline-model custom
      enable
      exit
   enable

I Tried to set the custom pipline model

and i got the reply

Custom pipeline model cannot be set on v1/v2 modules.

Is this a problem with the version of the Hardware

I was not able to set the Table using

openflow instance test table-num sw-table-1 0

the comand returnd inconsist value

[Michael Patmon]

Apologies for the delay in replying, we've had issues getting floodlight going in the lab.

For the "inconsistent value" that's a bad error message, disable OpenFlow on the instance and then try and set the table number.

Shouldn't need custom pipeline, that is a v3 module feature.  2920 is v2 based.  

We've been able to push flows manually but have not been able to get floodlight to push the default flows.  We're still trying...

Hi,

I try to configure a HP 2920 too, in openflow version 1.3, but with Beacon controller (based on Jopenflow).

But i have the same problem like you : i would like to push a "table-miss entry" in the table id 200 (because i guess i'm in "standard pipeline mode" but without succes.. The flow is created, but when i print the table 200 capabilities, in the "Table-miss Instructions" section there is an "output" action to "Group" but not to my controller like i set in my table-miss flow..

Does anyone know how to do this ?
