    5252=== 2a. Configure the Controller for the Hardware Switch: Useful Tips ===
    5353==== Which port is connected to which host ====
    54 Run the learning pox controller with debug on ''(--verbose)'' (use the command from the OVS tutorial) and start a ping from host1 to host2 and host3. Notice that the printout of pox will have lines like:
    55 {{{
    56 DEBUG:forwarding.l2_learning:installing flow for 02:b4:88:6d:83:f7.1 -> 02:36:8d:c2:b0:14.8
    57 }}}
    5854
    59 The format after `for` and `->` is <MAC>.<PORT> so this way you know which port is connected to which host. To figure out the name for each port then it is simply `A<PORT>` so if host 1 is out of port 8, then the name is `A8`.
     55To learn about the ports on which the Hosts are connected to the HW Switch, you need to run the Controller and execute a curl command.

    61 ==== Configuration files of controllers ====
    62 For the proxy and the port_forwarding controllers you will need to modify the config files (port_forward.config, proxy.config) to use the appropriate IP dataplane IP addresses of your hosts to correctly configure your controllers.
     57=== 2b. Run your controller. ===

    64 Next run your controller.
