POX Controller Web Console #248

Closed Maziar662000 closed 3 years ago

Maziar662000 commented 3 years ago

Dears, I am new to POX. I implemented POX on Ubuntu, and now I am wondering whether there is a web console, like that of FloodLight, for POX also or not?

Not really.

POX isn't really so much of a controller as a controller framework. So it doesn't so much have a web console as it has a little bit of a web framework. POX itself has several components for working with the web, and POXDesk is a framework for developing web-based GUIs which has some examples. But there's no singular web UI since there's no singular POX functionality.

Thank you for your fast reply. I am going to implement a component on POX for fault tolerance on switch level so that when a switch gets failed the hosts connected to that switch would be migrated to another switch. Would you please shed a light on this for me (any link or information regarding the implementation such a component)? Also, if it is better to choose another controller please give me your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

I think there's too broad of a space of problems/solutions here for me to be able to comment reasonably.

But good luck!
