If you want to run your controller in a different port other than the default one (6633) then every time you invoke pox you should include: openflow.of_01 --port= e.g. pox.py openflow.of_01 --port=443 --verbose forwarding.l2_learning
|
"l2" below uses the letter `l` as in level and is not the number one. And you should wait for the '''INFO ... connected''' line to ensure that the switch and the controller are communicating. |
In the event that you need to move the port of your controller, this is the command -
sudo ./pox.py --verbose openflow.of_01 --port=443 forwarding.l2_learningDo not forget to tell the ovs switch that the controller will be listening on this new port, i.e change 6633 to 443 in Step 2c. |
There is no way to get this information from the OpenFlow-capable hardware switch. |
