Opendaylight Integration

[okaratas]

Hello all,

I'm using Opendaylight and I'm planning VxLAN and all IP information moving to HP Switches with  OpenFlow protocols.

Opendayligt, transmits all data to 6653 ports but however the change doesn't see the switches. 

Do I need to change the switch version?

Regards,

Hi Ozgur,

Could you please post the openflow portion of your switch configuration? I ask this because there are two switch configurations which relate to TCP ports:

1. The TCP port where the SDN controller sends control-plane communication to the switch

Aruba-2930F-24G-4SFP(openflow)# controller-id 1  ip 1.2.3.4 port
 PORT-NUM              The controller TCP port (the default is 6633).

1. An additional TCP port where the SDN controller receives control-plane communication from the switch

openflow instance INST listen-port 6653

In a typical configuration, only #1 is needed. You'd use #2 if you had an additional utility outside the controller (like dpctl or ovs-ofctl) which you used to send OpenFlow flows to the switch. In your case, make sure that #1 is configured to use port 6653. The default port used is 6633, as can be seen in "show openflow instance INST".

Since Openflow support is frequently enhanced in our switches, we recommend that you use the latest firmware release (presently 16.02).
