OPENFLOW ASSIGNMENT

STEPS FOR SETTING UP

Using Omni to get physical PCs from ProtoGENI:
0. Get account: (Ignore this if you already have one)
Go to Request_GENI_Account for an emulab account and to join a GENI project.
Apparently you need to join a GENI project (which is created by PIs/GPOs/others who have permission to do so) in order to use GENI resources.

1. Prepare Omni
Here is a very good tutorial on setting up Omni environment: HelloOmni
Simply follow the tutorial to set up Omni.

Create an Experimental Topology for Firewall with OpenFlow

1. Use Omni to create the topology:
Download the RSPEC from http://www.gpolab.bbn.com/experiment-support/OpenFlowExampleExperiment/fw.rspec
Next, we need to create this experiment using the RSPEC file:

Step 1. Create slice (use a unique name for your slice):

omni.py createslice <slice name>

Output should be something like the following (here I am using 'OpenFlowFW' as the sample slice name):

INFO:omni:Loading config file /Users/shuang/.gcf/omni_config
INFO:omni:Using control framework portal
INFO:omni:Created slice with Name OpenFlowFW, URN urn:publicid:IDN+panther:ShufengProject+slice+OpenFlowFW, Expiration 2013-05-20 21:42:26
INFO:omni: ------------------------------------------------------------
INFO:omni: Completed createslice:

  Options as run:
		framework: portal
		project: ShufengProject

  Args: createslice OpenFlowFW

  Result Summary: Created slice with Name OpenFlowFW, URN urn:publicid:IDN+panther:ShufengProject+slice+OpenFlowFW, Expiration 2013-05-20 21:42:26
 
INFO:omni: ============================================================

Step 2. Renew Slice (to make sure that your reservation does not expire before you finished your experiment, renew the slice to a specific time):

omni.py renewslice OpenFlowFW 20130521

Output:

INFO:omni:Loading config file /Users/shuang/.gcf/omni_config
INFO:omni:Using control framework portal
INFO:omni.pgch:Requesting new slice expiration '2013-05-21T00:00:00'
INFO:omni:Slice OpenFlowFW now expires at 2013-05-21 00:00:00 UTC
INFO:omni:Slice urn:publicid:IDN+panther:ShufengProject+slice+OpenFlowFW expires within 1 day on 2013-05-21 00:00:00 UTC
INFO:omni: ------------------------------------------------------------
INFO:omni: Completed renewslice:

  Options as run:
		framework: portal
		project: ShufengProject

  Args: renewslice OpenFlowFW 20130521

  Result Summary: Slice OpenFlowFW now expires at 2013-05-21 00:00:00 UTC
Slice urn:publicid:IDN+panther:ShufengProject+slice+OpenFlowFW expires within 1 day(s) on 2013-05-21 00:00:00 UTC 
INFO:omni: ============================================================

Step 3. Create Sliver using fw.rspec:

omni.py createsliver -a pg-utah OpenFlowFW fw.rspec

Output:

INFO:omni: ============================================================

The above output shows the reserved nodes: pc140, pc135, pc137, pc138 and how they are connected.
Alternatively, you can use the following command to show the reserved nodes as well as ways to login:

readyToLogin.py OpenFlowFW -a pg-utah

When the nodes are not ready, the status will be notready or changing. In this case, you simply have to wait then try the above command again.
Otherwise, the result is something like the following:

Note: When dealing with specific slivers, we need to add "-a pg-utah" to specify which aggregate manager we want to use (i.e., from where we want to reserve the resources). In our case here, we are using utah aggregate.
For a list of available aggregates, please see the file ~/.gcf/omni_config, check out ProtoGENI AMs section.

OK. After this point, we are ready to log on to the nodes and do the OpenFlow FireWall experiments! :-)

Create an Experimental Topology for LoadBalancing with OpenFlow

To create the Load Balancing Topology, simply follow the same steps as when you created the Fire Wall Topology.
1. Use Omni to create the topology:
Download the RSPEC from http://www.gpolab.bbn.com/experiment-support/OpenFlowExampleExperiment/lb.rspec
Next, we need to create this experiment using the RSPEC file:

Step 1. Create slice (use a unique name for your slice): Here I am using OpenFlowLB
omni.py createslice OpenFlowLB
Step 2. Renew Slice (to make sure that your reservation does not expire before you finished your experiment, renew the slice to a specific time):
omni.py renewslice OpenFlowLB 20130521
Step 3. Create Sliver using lb.rspec:
omni.py createsliver -a pg-utah OpenFlowLB lb.rspec
Again, you can use the following command to show the reserved nodes as well as ways to login:
readyToLogin.py OpenFlowLB -a pg-utah
When the nodes are not ready, the status will be notready or changing. In this case, you simply have to wait then try the above command again.
Otherwise, the result is something like the following:
