I am creating a toplogy without using mininit, basically VM , OVS and POX
as a controller on an ubunto desktop, I have 9 VM they are host nodes that
have unix, they donot speak of and I am connecting
them to the switch in a way that they connect to each other, am trying
to build a L3 topology, I made vlans numbers as 12, 13,14,16 to connect
R1 to R2,R3, R4 and R6 and followed the same scheme to the rest, for
example R2 has interfaces in vlan 12, 24, 26 and 28 to connect to R1, R4
, R6 and R8 , so on to the rest...I can ping diretly connected router
to each other since teach two routers are in the same Vlan. Now I want
to have R1 to ping R9, I am kinda trying to build a routing
table/forwrding or reachability in the network, similar to what isis
will do for example, so I used L3 forwarding to rewrite the mac adrs,
yet when i do the flow dump. I see the flow is going from R 1 to R9
directly, they are pingable, but this isnot what I want, I want the flow
to go hop by hop from R1 to R3 then R9? or this cannot be acheived
since the controller directs the flows?
Thanks to advise me
R5---R6---- --- R1-------R3----R9
