11 months ago It's certainly possible with POX.
Assuming you're using Open vSwitch, the easy way is by taking advantage of the fact that OVS specifically supports this type of scenario. The relevant term is "in-band control". The OVS docs discuss it in at least two places: Design Decisions and the Using OpenFlow FAQ.
Actually getting that set up is mostly a matter of configuring OVS/mininet correctly. As that's outside of POX's scope, I'm going to wish you luck and close this issue. :)
Hello there! I have a question but I'm not sure if it's even possible on pox. I have this topology in mininet
C0
So, my controller is only connected to sw1 but if I wanted to make a ping from h3 to h2, how can I make the controller send the proper forwarding rules to sw3 and sw2 if they are not connected, how can I do that? I am feeling so lost in this scenario.
If anyone could give me some feedback I would really appreciate it!
thanks.
