Can i use Network Protector for Open vSwitch?

[mutluozel]

Dear All,

I want to test HP VAN SDN Controller and HP Network Protector with the Open vSwitch...  I have found example, for the Open vSwitch and VAN Controller integration but can't find for Network Protector.

How do i use Network Protector environments for the Open vSwitch?  ( we don't have OpenFlow enabled Physical Switches )

I implemented VAN Controller and Network Protector separate Ubuntu Servers and successfully it.

I will install two ubuntu server with KVM option and use Open vSwitch for networking..  After the installation i will integrate SDN platform if we can!

Best Regards

Mutlu

Hi Mutlu,

I'm not sure that Network Protector has been tested using OpenvSwitch, since Network Protector will attempt to communicate with the switch over SNMP to set up tunnels, etc. and OpenvSwitch won't respond to SNMP (as far as I know).

When you install Protector and connect OpenvSwitch switches, what do you see in the Protector Dashboard->Device Status tab?
