Hi,

I have tried both "ifconfig of0 10.0.0.5" and "secchan nl:0 tcp:10.0.2.2:975" on vigil2 too, but the behavior is still the same. I.e., after 45 seconds, the switch tables start to contain active flows and forward end host traffic, but still with error messages "Could not connect to controller, failing open".

However, I found out that, on the nox_core side, warning messages "(dhcp parse) warning DHCP packet data too short to parse header: data len 86" keep popping up. Was this the reason for such behavior? If so, any suggestions on how to solve this issue?

(BTW I used the latest NOX version, downloaded the kernel.bin and openflow_mod.so and secchan from noxrepo.org. I used in-band control, ran nox_core with the "pyswitch" application. I added the nl:0 dp, and all eth interfaces to the dp except the one connecting the host, on both vigil1 and vigil2)

Thanks a million,

-Zheng

To support inand control (on vigil2) you probably have to bring up of0 and give it an IP address.

e.g.
ifconfig of0 10.0.0.5

let us know if that doesn't work.

I have tried this:
             nox
                |
end1 --- vigil1 --- vigil2 --- end2

I ran "secchan nl:0 tcp:10.0.2.2:975" on vigil1, ran "secchan nl:0" on vigil2. At the beginning neither end1 nor end2 could ping each other. After 45 seconds, I got the error message on vigil2: fail_open|WARN|Could not connect to controller for 45 seconds, failing open. But right from then on, end1 and end2 could ping each other.

Is this the right behavior? If not, what are the things I have done wrong?

Thanks again for your help,

-Zheng

Following on this thread, in this 2 switches 2 hosts setup, are there two separate connections from both vigil1 and vigil2 to the host machine (by s1_SLIRP and s2_SLIRP)? Also, does this mean that we need to use secchan to connect to the nox_core on the host machine, from both vigil1 and vigil2?

Then, what if I only setup one secure channel between vigil1 and the host nox using secchan? Will vigil1 and vigil2 form a spanning tree, and vigil1 will forward control messages for vigil2? I am a little confused here.

Thank you so much,

The number of VMs and their connectivity are specified in the vms.conf file. As an example, here is a file with four VMs total, two acting as switches (vigil1 & vigil2) and two acting as regular machines (end1 and end2), one connected to each switch. To add more VMs, just add new names to the VMS line. The "SWITCHES" provide the connectivity for the VMs connected to them using the *_NETS lines as a regular (non-openflow) switch would.

Hi All,

I did the virtual test environment setup using NOX with 1 controller, 1 switch and 2 virtual QEMU machines as suggested in the wiki. I want to build upwards from this configuration and have more nodes and switches under the purview of the NOX controller.

Could you please suggest what would be the best way to emulate more complicated (close to real life networks) using the NOX controller.

Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Surabhi
