Dear all, Please help me for this point. I install open vswitch in one PC and pox controller in another PC and i use Ethernet cable to connect. IP of controller and ovs are in same subnet mask.
i install open vswitch as mentioned in installation guide http://git.openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL;hb=HEAD i added port to switch as shown root@pc2-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~/openvswitch-1.9.0# ovs-ofctl show s2 OFPT_FEATURES_REPLY (xid=0x1): dpid:0000000000002201 n_tables:255, n_buffers:256 capabilities: FLOW_STATS TABLE_STATS PORT_STATS QUEUE_STATS ARP_MATCH_IP actions: OUTPUT SET_VLAN_VID SET_VLAN_PCP STRIP_VLAN SET_DL_SRC SET_DL_DST SET_NW_SRC SET_NW_DST SET_NW_TOS SET_TP_SRC SET_TP_DST ENQUEUE 1(eth2): addr:00:00:00:00:22:04 config: 0 state: LINK_DOWN current: 100MB-FD AUTO_NEG advertised: 10MB-HD 10MB-FD 100MB-HD 100MB-FD COPPER AUTO_NEG AUTO_PAUSE AUTO_PAUSE_ASYM supported: 10MB-HD 10MB-FD 100MB-HD 100MB-FD COPPER AUTO_NEG speed: 100 Mbps now, 100 Mbps max 2(eth3): addr:00:00:00:00:22:05 config: 0 state: 0 current: 100MB-FD AUTO_NEG advertised: 10MB-HD 10MB-FD 100MB-HD 100MB-FD COPPER AUTO_NEG AUTO_PAUSE AUTO_PAUSE_ASYM supported: 10MB-HD 10MB-FD 100MB-HD 100MB-FD COPPER AUTO_NEG speed: 100 Mbps now, 100 Mbps max 3(eth4): addr:00:00:00:00:22:01 config: 0 state: LINK_DOWN current: 100MB-FD AUTO_NEG advertised: 10MB-HD 10MB-FD 100MB-HD 100MB-FD COPPER AUTO_NEG AUTO_PAUSE AUTO_PAUSE_ASYM supported: 10MB-HD 10MB-FD 100MB-HD 100MB-FD COPPER AUTO_NEG speed: 100 Mbps now, 100 Mbps max LOCAL(s2): addr:00:00:00:00:22:01 config: PORT_DOWN state: LINK_DOWN speed: 100 Mbps now, 100 Mbps max OFPT_GET_CONFIG_REPLY (xid=0x3): frags=normal miss_send_len=0 but when i run pox, i check the ovs status it shows root@pc2-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~/openvswitch-1.9.0# ovs-vsctl show 849f606f-023d-435c-9548-1076994ec562 Bridge "s2" Controller "tcp:172.16.0.9:6633" Port "s2" Interface "s2" type: internal Port "eth3" Interface "eth3" Port "eth2" Interface "eth2" Port "eth4" Interface "eth4" It means no connection to controller and I can't ping to controller either. But before installing ovs i can ping to controller. I don't know what happen.
