[nox-dev] Topology component and FlowVisor.

2012-01-12 Thread Sergio Jiménez Feijóo
Hi guys, I've developed a NOX aplication which needs to use the topology component to discover the network topology. I've tested my application in a testbed of 6 Linksys WRT54GL running the OpenWRT Pantou firmware (without flowvisor) and it worked like a charm. Now I'm testing my aplication

Hi, I've encountered an issue like this before with flowvisor and the discovery module. The easiest thing to do is to change the lldp value in ./src/nox/lib/packet/ethernet.py #LLDP_TYPE = 0x88cc LLDP_TYPE = new_value then add this new_value, ether_type to your slice. Hopefully that

Hi Aaron, I'm using the latest version (I think). I downloaded it from the git repository by the command git clone git://noxrepo.org/nox a few days ago. My flowspace consists on tagging all my trafic with a certain VLAN ID (VLAN 13). All the traffic tagged with that VLAN ID belongs to my

Did you do git checkout -b destiny When the controller sends the LLDP packet it won't have a vlan tag. Once it leaves the switch, the switch will add your tag for you. I don't think that's the problem. Aaron 2012/1/12 Sergio Jiménez Feijóo jjji...@gmail.com Hi Aaron, I'm using the latest

Hi Aaron, My application that runs on NOX examines the packets and forwards them keeping the same VLAN ID tag. But how does the topology module tell the switches that they must send the LLDPs with a certain VLAN ID tag? The topology module is independent from my application and I can't

If you do a packet dump at the flowvisor do you see vlan tags on these LLDP packets returned to you? I'm guessing the LLDP packets that are returned to you from the switch (Via PACKET_IN) ) do not have VLAN tags correct? (The switch takes them off since this switch isn't acting as a pure of

Hi Sergio, Could you try to run your application without flowvisor. I find it strange that flowvisor would be causing a problem here, even though it treats lldp packets rather awkwardly. That said, if your setup works without flowvisor then we can definitely say that flowvisor is at fault
