Hello, I'm attempting to run the virtual testing environment as described on the website but I've run into some issues. One of the reasons we're using the method described in the tutorial is that it supports wireless networks (vm environment must support this).
I would like to use the latest version of NOX and OpenFlow switch but I haven't gotten them to work together in the VM. Following the directions from the site I've cloned the main NOX git repository and successfully built it. The problem comes when I try to set up the VM so that the OpenFlow switch connects to the nox_core controller. Since the available version of the OpenFlow is too old for the head branch of NOX, it has the versioning problem which has been described on this list. I would like to edit the VM so that I have a OpenFlow 1.0 switch running, but I'm having a little trouble. The directions on the site have the user start up OpenFlow switch in kernel-mode which isn't supported anymore in the main OpenFlow switch 1.0 source (but is available in Open vSwitch). Also, when I replace the kernel.bin file I seem to get an error on VM bootup which makes me think I need to do more than just replace the kernel.bin file if I'm using a version I build myself. From the available options if I want to use the VM environment described on the NOX website I either need to try to run the official OpenFlow switch in user mode or Open vSwitch in kernel mode. Can you give me a recommendation on the best way to approach this? Thanks! - Matt Strum
