Hi, I'm still a learner of openvswitch and mininet. Pls help clarify my doubts. I am running a mininet instance with the following command:mininet@mininet-vm: sudo mn --topo linear,3 --switch ovsk,datapath=user --controller remote When i run mininet@mininet-vm:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl show command, i get the following output: 0b8ed0aa-67ac-4405-af13-70249a7e8a96 Bridge "s1" Controller "tcp:127.0.0.1:6633" is_connected: true Controller "ptcp:6634" fail_mode: secure Port "s1-eth2" Interface "s1-eth2" Port "s1-eth1" Interface "s1-eth1" Port "s1" Interface "s1" type: internal Bridge "s3" ....... There is no IP information shown for the interfaces "s1-eth1", "s1-eth2" etc. Even the dump-flows command does not show any IP Information: mininet@mininet-vm:~$ sudo ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow13 dump-flows s1 OFPST_FLOW reply (OF1.3) (xid=0x2): cookie=0x0, duration=1627.369s, table=0, n_packets=28, n_bytes=2668, priority=1 ,in_port=2,dl_dst=fe:7a:37:ab:ce:e5 actions=output:1 cookie=0x0, duration=1627.368s, table=0, n_packets=27, n_bytes=2608, priority=1 ,in_port=1,dl_dst=32:a3:fe:e0:d9:c4 actions=output:2 cookie=0x0, duration=2513.265s, table=0, n_packets=3, n_bytes=218, priority=0 a ctions=CONTROLLER:65535 However the the ping connectivity was successful with the simple_switch_13 apps from ryu executed as follows: mininet@mininet-vm:~/ryu/ryu/app$ ryu-manager --verbose simple_switch_13.py How and When are IPs assigned to the switch interfaces?. ORDoes the whole thing work without IP addresses on the interfaces?. If so, how can i assign IP addresses to the interfaces. I need to use the IP addresses of the interfaces in my controller application. ThanksHadem. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
