Re: [OpenDaylight Discuss] Multiple Controller implementation
Jamo, Thank you alot i’ll try docker as mentioned by Luis :) From: Jamo Luhrsen <jluhr...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2018 7:16:28 AM To: Mohamed Abdel Metaal; Luis Gomez Cc: discuss@lists.opendaylight.org; openflowplugin-dev Subject: Re: [OpenDaylight Discuss] Multiple Controller implementation Ok Mohamed, I see what you are trying to do. I think it should be possible to build your own version of OpenDaylight that uses different ports to listen for openflow, and maybe not too difficult. but there are other ports being used in other places of OpenDaylight that you would have to change as well to make everything play nice on the same system like the port restconf listens on, for example. Luis' idea is pretty reasonable. Try docker. https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhub.docker.com%2Fu%2Fopendaylight%2F=02%7C01%7C%7C2abdcf2c6de24bdafbb408d56ebb7ebc%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435%7C1%7C0%7C636536673912960766=Z2XPvXvvnxrP0fUMFtOPY808uIrGNgcAi5cKv091uGs%3D=0 you could have three ODL containers running on the same system. Each would get their own local ip and you could point your mininet script to those specific ips and still use the expected ports.

Re: [OpenDaylight Discuss] Multiple Controller implementation
Thanks Luis. This answers my question so far as I thought I could modify the ports in a multiple of configuration files in order to achieve this.

Re: [OpenDaylight Discuss] Multiple Controller implementation
Luis and Jamo,
Attached is defining the controller part of my mininet script. If you would
like to full script please let me know:
c1 = RemoteController( 'c1', ip='127.0.0.1', port=6653 )
c2 = RemoteController( 'c2', ip='127.0.0.1', port=7753 )
c3 = RemoteController( 'c3', ip='127.0.0.1', port=8853 )
and I use cmap to map my switches to their respective controllers:
cmap = { 's1': c1, 's2': c1, ‘s3’: c1, 's4': c1, 's5': c1, ‘s6’: c1, 's7': c1,
's8': c1, 's9': c2, 's10': c2, 's11': c2, 's12': c2, 's13': c2, 's14': c3,
's15': c3, 's16': c3, 's17': c3, 's18': c3}
net.addController(c1)
net.addController(c2)
net.addController(c3)

Subject: Re: [OpenDaylight Discuss] Multiple Controller implementation
Luis,
This could not be possible as all controllers in this case will connect to the
same openflow ports, RESTCONF, Jolokia ports 8081 and 8080 along with other
ports too, so the other 2 controllers will address ports which is already being
addressed by the first controller. It would only be possible to work if these
ports are changed in each of the other controllers so they don’t collide using
the same ports, eg. Openflow ports 6633 / 6653. Just to clarify, as I have
forgot, I am implementing this using my Ubuntu machine without the use of
virtual machines. That’s another question, could this be implemented using only
my local machine without virtual machines and tweaking the ports in each
OpenDaylight folder (for each controller)?
Jamo,
I am currently implementing the controllers in one machine so they have the
same address to address the controllers (which is the loopback address in my
case). So the controllers in my mininet script have the same ip address but
different openflow ports 6653, 7753 and 8853. Again, probably the same question
arises, is multiple controllers only possible to implement using different
virtual machines per controller?
Thanks
P.S. I have implemented the same implementation before using Floodlight and
there was a certain number of ports, including openflow ports, that needs to be
changed. All using my local machine without the need for virtual machines.
If this is possible then it could be also a great idea to benchmark
OpenDaylight with other SDN controllers for behavior using a physically
distributed control plane.

can you tweak your mininet python script to use the actual ip addresses of your
controllers? seems that those would be different. In that case, why can't they
all be listening on 6633?

Re: [OpenDaylight Discuss] Multiple Controller implementation
Hello Jamo, Yes exactly, I have one instance of mininet running that should be connected to 3 opendaylight controllers. In my mininet python script i have defined that controllers should connect on 6653, 7753 and 8853 openflow ports. This should be somehow configured also in my opendaylight controllers for it to connect. I have tried changing port numbers in default(and legacy)-openflow-connection-config.xml for the 3 different opendaylight controllers and ports 8081/8080 for jetty.xml so they don’t collide but still I get the errors and the 2 other controllers cannot connect to my mininet instance. As a brief example just to make sure that my idea is clear: i run a mininet instance of 6 switches where each controller should only see/monitor/connect to 2 of the switches.

[OpenDaylight Discuss] Multiple Controller implementation
I have a question regarding the implementation of multiple controllers using OpenDaylight. If I want to implement 3 controllers, each responsible for a certain number of nodes in the topology (so we have 3 domains) which are not overlapping, how can this be implemented? I have experience with Floodlight controllers and I could implement this by changing openflow port number along with other ports in some properties file but in OpenDaylight I always get errors when I run 3 instances of controllers and only the first one gets connected to Mininet topology that I implement with the controllers defined. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.opendaylight.org https://lists.opendaylight.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
