controller access APs information #96

Open Maryam-mary-karimi opened 7 years ago

Maryam-mary-karimi commented 7 years ago

Dear Sir, I am working on using pox in wireless networks and I need to know the power, packet rate, packet size, location and other information about access points. Is it possible? how can I receive those information in the controller? and is there any way to send command to the APs to change those variables?

Thank you very much

As far as I know, POX controller only supports OpenFlow southbound protocol. OpenFlow does not provide these information such as power configuration. You can try to implement an agent in OpenNet to expose those information to the controller through other protocols such as NETCONF or protocol of your own. You will also need to implement the part in the POX controller to fetch the information exposed on the switch side.

thank you very much. I almost did the same thing. I used pox messenger and call the client part in an script which was executed by the AP.
