Hi Martin We are looking for a full topology discovery on network from your email - it looks like nox_core module can only provide
1. link discovery between switches 2. nodes discovery But there is no information about the node connect to what ? - there could be intermediate devices....etc... So - openflow switch and nox components can give a full topology or not? Thanks Thuymai ________________________________ From: Martin Casado <[email protected]> To: Chonduy Nguyen <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Tue, January 26, 2010 3:34:37 PM Subject: Re: [nox-dev] directoryws not on version 0.6 Alternatively, you can listen for host_bind_event which is thrown for each new host detected. It contains the dpid, port, and addresses associated with each detected host. > Hi Martin, > > I saw the method get_authed_addresses(*args) require hostid - where I expect > the module discovered link connection > between host and switch as we don't know what hostid or switch outthere. > is there anyway I can get the list of hosts in authenticator without knowning > or passing any info? > > Thanks > > ThuymaiNguyen > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* Martin Casado <[email protected]> > *To:* Chonduy Nguyen <[email protected]> > *Cc:* [email protected]; [email protected] > *Sent:* Tue, January 26, 2010 1:33:08 PM > *Subject:* Re: [nox-dev] directoryws not on version 0.6 > > It requires traffic in order to reconstruct host-level information. > > > Hi Martin, > > > > Thanks for your info, So, I can just run nox_core component pyauthenticator > > so this component will discover nodes which are connecting to the switch > > "Without any traffic generated from that host to switch " ? or I need to > > run traffic ( example: having host1 ping host2) > > > > Thanks > > > > Thuymai > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > *From:* Martin Casado <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > > *To:* Chonduy Nguyen <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > > *Cc:* [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > *Sent:* Tue, January 26, 2010 12:47:57 PM > > *Subject:* Re: [nox-dev] directoryws not on version 0.6 > > > > There are no webservices which directly expose authenticator.
