Hi Yiannis, and thanks for the reply.
 
With only one switch, I can ping between hosts on different ports/subnets 
without having any static flows (I believe that is because I have the learning 
switch and forwarding modules enabled in the controller, which is desirable in 
my case because I don't want to have to handle ARPs etc, I just want to focus 
on controlling the routing decisions). 

But if I push down static flows (match on packet destination subnet address and 
send to the correct port) I see matches for those flows when I ping. I also see 
packet in / packet out messages to the controller, but these are for ARP 
messages.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Can you try with a single switch first, pinging two hosts attached in two 
ports? Do you see the stats being updated? If not, do you see packet-ins in 
your controller?

Regards,Y.

Hi all,
I've got a couple of Linksys WRT54GL Openflow enabled switches (Pantou on 
OpenWRT). The controller is Floodlight with learning switch and forwarding 
enabled  When I push down simple static flows to the switches, I find that the 
switches do not enforce them. So with the topology subnet1-S1-S2-subnet2, S1 
has a rule dest=subnet2;action=send_to_s2 and S2 a rule 
dest-subnet1;action=send_to_s1, then I can't ping between hosts on subnet1 and 
subnet2. I can see the flow descriptions on the switches using the dpctrl 
dump-flows command, so I know the switches have got the rules. But the 
statistics on the switches show there are no matches for the flows despite the 
pings.

My main question is a sanity check: am I right in thinking this should work ? 
do these symptoms point to something obvious ?
Many thanks,
Tim
