Hello everyone, I have two ubuntu virtual machines. On one of them i have installed opendaylight and on the other I have mininet. I wish to simulate opendaylight via mininet, after starting opendaylight controller on the remote virtual machine I typed the following command on virtual machine having mininet in order controller will initiate a connection to the OVS element that is listening, ovs-vsctl show and then to set OVS element to attach to an active Daylight management controller gave the following command on mininet virtual machine sudo ovs-vsctl set-manager tcp:192.168.159.130:6640 where 192.168.159.130 is the ip of virtual machine having opendaylight controller and then in order to confirm connectivity I gave command ovs-vsctl show which gave output as: ovs-vsctl show dffa6719-ed75-4eff-9e63-736871d76c0c Manager "tcp:192.168.159.130:6640" ovs_version: "1.4.6" and then for making topology I gave following command on mininet virtual machine sudo mn --controller=remote,ip=[controller IP],port=[controller listening port] where controller ip is 192.168.159.130 the ip of one of the port of virtual machine having opendaylight controller which is Host-only and controller listening port is 6633 for checking the hosts connectivity in topology I did pingall but it gave output that the hosts are unreachable Also, the opendaylight UI ( https://127.0.0.1:8080 ) showed no built topology What is going wrong ?

Stop the running controller and check for the port 6633 by running the command,

ps -eaf | grep ":6633"

If any of the service is running on this port, kill them by the command

sudo kill -9 pid #pid: Process ID of the running service

then, try to install these features:

opendaylight-user@root>feature:install odl-l2switch-switch odl-restconf odl-mdsal-apidocs

Now, start the mininet and check for connectivity between controller and mininet.

I am not sure what is going on in your setup. I would ask you to refer/revisit the following links for bringing up the controller via mininet.

https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/CrossProject:IntegrationGroup:CreateSystemTestEnvironment

I believe it is because of the wrong command at mininet console: It should be like the one below.

sudo mn --topo single,3 --controller 'remote,ip=<your controller="" ip="">,port=6653' --switch ovsk,protocols=OpenFlow13</your>

Hope this helps!

Hi Madhu, I am also facing the same problem. I am using the right command in mininet. I have vm running in two seperate systems.

even though when I run both controller and mininet in same vm i am unable to connect.

Still not resolved. Is my controller listening in port 6633 or 6653?

The OpenFlow part of the controller will listen to both 6633 and 6653

Hi....I do below steps which resolve the connectivity issue between the mininet and ODL via port 6633 :

first I clean the configuration :

$ cd distribution-karaf-0.4.0-Beryllium $ ./bin/karaf clean

then I installed the features again on below sequence as shown below :

opendaylight-user@root>feature:install odl-l2switch-switch odl-mdsal-apidocs odl-dlux-all

it take little time to install all it , around one minute

I re-run below command again at the mininet , the remote controller get connected successfully :

$ sudo mn --topo linear,3 --mac --controller=remote,ip=192.168.56.20,port=6633 --switch ovs,protocols=OpenFlow13

* Creating network Adding controller Adding hosts: h1 h2 h3 Adding switches: s1 s2 s3 Adding links: (h1, s1) (h2, s2) (h3, s3) (s2, s1) (s3, s2) Configuring hosts h1 h2 h3 Starting controller c0 Starting 3 switches s1 s2 s3 ... ** Starting CLI: mininet> mininet>
