    3030 - '''2.2 ovs-ofctl''' [[BR]]
    3131 The switch host configured by the given rspec listens for incoming OpenFlow connections on localhost port 6634.
    32 You can use this to query the switch state using the ''ovs-ofctl'' command. In particular, you may find the ''dump-tables'' and ''dump-flows'' subcommands useful. For example, ''sudo ovs-ofctl dump-flows tcp:127.0.0.1:6634'' will output lines that look like this:
    33 {{{

    36 }}}
    37 This indicates that any TCP segment with source IP in the 10.10.10.0/24 subnet should be sent to the OpenFlow controller for processing, that it has been 78 seconds since such a segment was last seen, that one such segment has been seen so far, and the total number of bytes in packets matching this rule is 74. The other fields are perhaps interesting, but you will probably not need them for debugging. (Unless, of course, you choose to use multiple tables — an exercise in OpenFlow 1.1 functionality left to the reader.)

    3838 - '''2.3 Unix utilities'''[[BR]]
    3939 You will want to use a variety of Unix utilities, in addition to the tools listed in [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIEducation/SampleAssignments/OpenFlowAssignment/ExerciseLayout ExerciseLayout], to test your controllers. The standard ping and ''/usr/sbin/arping'' tools are useful for debugging connectivity (but make sure your controller passes ''ICMP ECHO REQUEST'' and ''REPLY'' packets and ''ARP'' traffic, respectively!), and the command ''netstat -an'' will show all active network connections on a Unix host; the TCP connections of interest in this exercise will be at the top of the listing. The format of netstat output is out of the scope of this tutorial, but information is available online and in the manual pages.
