[pox-dev] How do i interface the POX Controller with the OVS switches

[Sanghamitra De]

Hi,
when trying to install pox in a node which is already installed with OVS i
have run the following commands:

~$ git clone http://github.com/noxrepo/pox
~$ cd pox

./pox.py --verbose forwarding.l2_learning

The output should have looked like this:

POX 0.1.0 (betta) / Copyright 2011-2013 James McCauley, et al.
DEBUG:core:POX 0.1.0 (betta) going up...
DEBUG:core:Running on CPython (2.7.3/Apr 20 2012 22:39:59)
DEBUG:core:Platform is Linux-3.2.0-56-generic-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-12.04-precise
INFO:core:POX 0.1.0 (betta) is up.
DEBUG:openflow.of_01:Listening on 0.0.0.0:6633
INFO:openflow.of_01:[9e-38-3e-8d-42-42 1] connected
DEBUG:forwarding.l2_learning:Connection [9e-38-3e-8d-42-42 1]


instead i am getting only upto:
DEBUG:openflow.of_01:Listening on 0.0.0.0:6633

The setup i am working on requires the OVS node to behave as an L2 switch
to connect a no. of nodes. However, i need a router or L3 device to connect
different such L2 switches as the one which is the OVS installed switch.
For that purpose i am trying to use one of the OVS installed nodes as both
an L2 switch and a L3 router (by installing POX controller in it)


My query is:

How do i interface the Controller with the switches (i.e OVS nodes). Let me
know the commands. Thanks!!
