    3030In this example we are going to run a very simple learning switch controller to forward traffic between `host1` and `host2`.

    32   1. First start a ping from  `host1` to `host2`, which should timeout, since there is no controller running.

    35 ping host2 -c 10

    73 Now the ping should work. You can see that the time for the first ICMP packet is longer than the rest of the ICMP packets. This is because the Open vSwitch consults the controller the first time a packet-in event occurs. The controller then inserts the flow in the Open vSwitch and the switch consults this flow for further packet-in events.

    156156When the wireshark window pops up, you might still have to choose eth0 for a live capture.  And you will want to use a filter to cut down on the chatter in the wireshark window.   One such filter might be just seeing what shows up on port 6633. To do that type ''tcp.port eq 6633'' in the filter window, assuming that 6633 is the port that the controller is
    157157listening on.   And once you have lines, you can choose one of the lines and choose "Decode as ...." and choose the ''OFP protocol''.

     160
     161The Floodlight Controller comes equipped with a [https://floodlight.atlassian.net/wiki/display/floodlightcontroller/Web+GUI web-based GUI]. The GUI can be accessed by pointing your favorite browser to the following URL:

     164http://<controller-ip>:8080/ui/pages/index.html

     166
     167<controller-ip> is the IP address of the control interface of the Controller node(eth0).
