HP3500yl + TP-Links WR1043ND + Floodlight

[rafael_pasquini]

I am building a testbed composed by three TP-Links WR1043ND with OVS, one HP3500yl K16.02.0025 and Floodlight master. Everything running with OpenFlow 1.3.

There is a control network 192.168.2.0/24, the controller runs in 192.168.2.1, TP-links 192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.4, HP has 192.168.2.5 in vlan2.

HP has 192.168.0.44 in vlan1 which is the management vlan.

I created VLAN3 with ports 3-6 in the HP switch. Here is the running configuration

Running configuration:

; J9310A Configuration Editor; Created on release #K.16.02.0025
; Ver #10:08.03.81.30.02.34.59.2c.6b.ff.f7.fc.7f.ff.3f.ef:26
hostname "HP-E3500yl"
module 1 type j93xxa
ip default-gateway 192.168.2.1
snmp-server community "public" unrestricted
openflow
   controller-id 1 ip 192.168.2.1 port 6653 controller-interface vlan 2
   auxiliary-connection 1 port 6653 type tcp
   instance aggregate
      listen-port
      controller-id 1 auxiliary-connection 1
      version 1.3
      exit
   enable
   exit
vlan 1
   name "management"
   no untagged 2-6
   untagged 1,7-24
   ip address 192.168.0.44 255.255.255.0
   exit
vlan 2
   name "controller"
   untagged 2
   ip address 192.168.2.5 255.255.255.0
   exit
vlan 3
   name "of3"
   untagged 3-6
   no ip address
   exit
management-vlan 1
device-profile name "default-ap-profile"
   cos 0
   exit

I can see in floodlight that all switches are connected, I can even use the network of all TP-Links in a row.

TP-link1 <---> TP-Link2 <---> TP-Link3

But when I use together with the HP, there is no end-to-end communication. I can see traffic comming to interface 3, for example, in the HP, and also comming to interface 4, but there is no TX from 3 to 4 and vice versa. The topology is:

TP-link1 <---> TP-Link2 <---> HP3500yl <---> TP-Link3

I would like to verify the configuration and get help to fix it.

Hi Rafael,

I think you'd need to enable OpenFlow debug messages on the console to see what is happening from an OpenFlow perspective. The debug output will show when flows are pushed and if any errors occur:

debug openflow
debug destination session
