OpenDaylight doesn't have to be coupled with OpenStack.
I think what you want to do is going to be better answered by the openflowplugin
project in opendaylight.
Parker, I'd suggest sending an email to
[email protected]
(actually, I just CC'd them), of which Luis is involved. I think he might even
have some experience doing some physical switch management with ODL and openflow
which is what you are looking for.
Thanks,
JamO

Hi Mark,
I have taken a look at this tool and it is not clear to me that I could use this to configure the Cisco switches. It
seems to have the ability to collect configuration information and update firmware, but would I be able to e.g. add a
set of ports to a vlan through the REST API?
Thank you,
Parker

Hello, Parker.
There is another, non OpenStack project, RackHD, which claims to support
provisioning for Cisco.
Here’s a note from one of their devs:
Our team worked on cisco support for discovery, FW update and
configuration. Here is the microservice code :
https://github.com/RackHD/on-network
<https://github.com/RackHD/on-network>____
It also has all the workflows hooks in RackHD workflow engine.
If you’re interested in exploring that, I can be a point of contact to see
what automation can be done with RackHD.
Regards,
Mark

Hi All,____
__ __
If you don't know me, I am Parker Berberian. I am running the Lab as a
Service at the UNH Interoperability Lab.____
__ __
We are beginning development on supporting dynamic pod allocation. To do
this, we need to be able to manipulate
our underlay network in an automated fashion in order to create opnfv
"pods" from any arbitrary machines we host.____
__ __
Essentially, when a deployment happens, we need to be able to take any of
our available machines and add them to
the appropriate vlans and make sure they can all talk to each other. There
may be as many as 4 switches between
different machines, so all the necessary switches need to be configured to
forward the given vlans.____
__ __
We use Cisco 9300 switches (here
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.cisco.com_c_en_us_support_switches_nexus-2D92160yc-2Dswitch_model.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=OfsSu8kTIltVyD1oL72cBw&m=ik2jOw_DuSMOkO9Zrh9cdyeohFVCXMOeJRYZgC7Uq1s&s=VSROTQeUD-ozUCQE_KP0x1tkW8174mIuQNcSDX05nfA&e=>)
which support OpenFlow. So we originally considered used an SDN controller
such as OpenDaylight.____
__ __
Has anyone used a tool that might accomplish what we need? Any
recommendations are welcome.____

Thank you,____
Parker Berberian.____
