Thank you very much! That's exactly what i am searching for. However when i try the above command i get this:
*ovs-vsctl: Interface does not contain a column whose name matches "ifindex"* i tried something more general, and as the above command stated no such column: *sudo ovs-vsctl list Interface_uuid : 18ee3470-ef22-4b6f-b9c3-4c6111842f1eadmin_state : upcfm_fault : []cfm_fault_status : []cfm_health : []cfm_mpid : []cfm_remote_mpids : []cfm_remote_opstate : []duplex : fullexternal_ids : {}ingress_policing_burst: 0ingress_policing_rate: 0lacp_current : []link_resets : 0link_speed : 10000000000link_state : upmac : []mac_in_use : "3a:c5:8b:44:ab:4d"mtu : 1500name : "s1-eth2"ofport : 2ofport_request : []options : {}other_config : {}statistics : {collisions=0, rx_bytes=558, rx_crc_err=0, rx_dropped=0, rx_errors=0, rx_frame_err=0, rx_over_err=0, rx_packets=7, tx_bytes=320, tx_dropped=0, tx_errors=0, tx_packets=4}status : {driver_name=veth, driver_version="1.0", firmware_version=""}type : ""* I guess my mininet vm uses an older version of ovs that perhaps does not support ifIndex? *sudo ovs-vsctl --versionovs-vsctl (Open vSwitch) 1.10.2* I would like to ask something else about sflow and ovs. Lets say i have a mininet topology again with a couple virtual switches (s1 , s2) I again add the sflow agents. I want to sort the samples based on which switch they are received from. I am thinking *agentSubId* & *sourceId* fields are the ones i must focus on. However again, is there anyway to map the sflow sample to the datapath Id my openflow controller understands? sflow sample: *sourceId 2:1000* openflow controller: *Connection [00-00-00-00-00-01 1]* Thanks in advance On Thu, May 14, 2015 at 5:05 PM, Peter Phaal <peter.ph...@inmon.com> wrote: > You can use ovs-vsctl to dump the naming information for the ports and > extract the mapping between the SNMP ifIndex that sFlow uses to identify > ports and the OpenFlow port number / name that the controller uses to > identify ports: > > mininet@mininet-vm:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl --format json --columns > name,ofport,ifindex list Interface > > {"data":[["s1-eth2",2,172],["s8-eth1",1,189],["s6",65534,203],["s7-eth8",8,159],["s3-eth2",2,176],["s4-eth3",3,186],["s3-eth4",4,192],["s3-eth1",1,168],["s4-eth2",2,178],["s8-eth4",4,195],["s1",65534,199],["s2-eth3",3,182],["s6-eth3",3,177],["s2-eth2",2,174],["s7",65534,202],["s5-eth7",7,150],["s4",65534,201],["s6-eth5",5,152],["s2-eth4",4,190],["s3",65534,200],["s7-eth5",5,156],["s7-eth2",2,183],["s3-eth3",3,184],["s8-eth6",6,161],["s6-eth1",1,173],["s1-eth3",3,180],["s7-eth1",1,181],["s8-eth7",7,162],["s8-eth8",8,163],["s4-eth4",4,194],["s8-eth2",2,191],["s7-eth6",6,157],["s1-eth4",4,188],["s5",65534,196],["s5-eth4",4,171],["s2-eth1",1,166],["s7-eth7",7,158],["s6-eth2",2,175],["s2",65534,197],["s8",65534,198],["s8-eth3",3,193],["s6-eth6",6,153],["s8-eth5",5,160],["s7-eth4",4,187],["s5-eth3",3,169],["s6-eth4",4,179],["s1-eth1",1,164],["s6-eth7",7,154],["s4-eth1",1,170],["s5-eth8",8,151],["s7-eth3",3,185],["s5-eth2",2,167],["s6-eth8",8,155],["s5-eth1",1,165],["s5-eth5",5,148],["s5-eth6",6,149]],"headings":["name","ofport","ifindex"]} > > > On May 14, 2015, at 3:08 AM, Adam Pavlidis <adampavli...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello all, > > I am currently trying to use sflow in an SDN environment (mininet). > I have successfully set up the sflow agent in the ovs bridge that is > created by mininet. > > My main problem is this that the rules installed by my openflow controller > specify some ports (e.g. port 1, port 2). > However the ports i see in sflow samples are not the same ones.
