HowTo/ConfigureOVSStaticRouteMirroringNoController
v16 v17 1 1 = How to set up static flows in OVS = 2 2 3 This howto page demonstrates how to set up static IP traffic between two hosts connected to an OVS switch without running a separate controller and by using customOpenFlow table rules.3 This page demonstrates how to set up static IP traffic flows between two hosts connected to an OVS switch without running a separate !OpenFlow controller and by using custom !OpenFlow table rules. 4 4 5 Th is howto uses the following rspec: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GENI-NSF/geni-tutorials/master/OVSRyu/openflowovs-all-xen.rspec.xml]5 The following RSpec is used: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GENI-NSF/geni-tutorials/master/OVSRyu/openflowovs-all-xen.rspec.xml] 6 6 7 This rspec creates a network with 3 nodes: host1, host2, host3; connected to an OVS switch ovs. The figure below details the connections.7 This RSpec requests a network topology with 3 nodes (host1, host2, host3) connected to an OVS switch (OVS). The figure below details the connections. 8 8 9 9 {{{ … … 14 14 15 15 16 This howto will establish rules for allowing IP traffic to flow between host1 and host2. 17 18 Later in the howto we will discuss how to setup the OVS switch to allow 19 for host3 to observe the traffic between host1 and host2 using OpenFlow table rules. An alternative method using the Mirror feature of the OVS switch is also presented if only mirroring is required. 20 These setups could be used for network monitoring. 16 First we will establish rules for allowing IP traffic to flow between host1 and host2. Later in the howto we will discuss how to setup the OVS switch to allow for host3 to observe the traffic between host1 and host2 using OpenFlow table rules. An alternative method using the Mirror feature of the OVS switch is also presented if only mirroring is required. These setups maybe be used for network monitoring. 21 17 22 18 == Setting up the static IP traffic ==
