Please refer to the [wiki:GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/OpenFlowOVS Intro to !OpenFlow using OVS] for background. 4 5 GENI and FIRE offer access to hardware !OpenFlow switches. Each !OpenFlow switch in most cases can support only one controller. There are two ways of slicing the controller flowspace: 6 1. By VLAN id. This is used when each slice has its own VLANs. For instructions to use the !OpenFlow switches with private VLANs, see []. 7 2. By IP addresses. This is used when multiple slices share the same VLAN. For example, the GENI mesoscale VLAN. For instructions, see []. 8 9 == Using Hardware OpenFlow switches using Private VLANs == 10 11 === Design/Setup === 4 12 5 13 6 GENI and FIRE offer access to hardware OpenFlow switches. Each OpenFlow switch in most cases can support only one controller. To enable sharing of the resources many times a slicer (FlowVIsor) and an OpenFlow specific AM (FOAM) is used. 14 15 16 17 18 19 To enable sharing of the resources many times a slicer (FlowVIsor) and an OpenFlow specific AM (FOAM) is used. 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 7 28 8 29 In GENI there is a common VLAN that has been setup for all the GENI racks and within this VLAN experimenters can reserve a flowspace based on IP or eth_type. Experimenter can also obtain a private VLAN only for their slice. For this tutorial we are going to use the common VLAN that has been setup.
