实验5:开源控制器实践——POX
一、实验目的
- 能够理解 POX 控制器的工作原理;
- 通过验证POX的forwarding.hub和forwarding.l2_learning模块,初步掌握POX控制器的使用方法;
- 能够运用 POX控制器编写自定义网络应用程序,进一步熟悉POX控制器流表下发的方法。
二、实验环境
Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop amd64
三、实验要求
(一)基本要求
1. 使用 tcpdump 验证Hub模块
- h1 ping h2

- h1 ping h3

2. 使用 tcpdump 验证Switch模块
- h1 ping h2

- h1 ping h3

3. L2_learning模块代码流程图

(二)进阶要求
1. 重新搭建(一)的拓扑,此时交换机内无流表规则,拓扑内主机互不相通;编写Python程序自定义一个POX模块SendFlowInSingle3,并且将拓扑连接至SendFlowInSingle3(默认端口6633),实现向s1发送流表规则使得所有主机两两互通。

SendFlowInSingle3代码
from pox.core import core
import pox.openflow.libopenflow_01 as of
from pox.openflow.of_json import *
def _handle_ConnectionUp(event):
msg = of.ofp_flow_mod()
msg.priority = 1
msg.match.in_port = 1
msg.actions.append(of.ofp_action_output(port=2))
msg.actions.append(of.ofp_action_output(port=3))
event.connection.send(msg)
msg = of.ofp_flow_mod()
msg.priority = 1
msg.match.in_port = 2
msg.actions.append(of.ofp_action_output(port=1))
msg.actions.append(of.ofp_action_output(port=3))
event.connection.send(msg)
msg = of.ofp_flow_mod()
msg.priority = 1
msg.match.in_port = 3
msg.actions.append(of.ofp_action_output(port=1))
msg.actions.append(of.ofp_action_output(port=2))
event.connection.send(msg)
def launch():
core.openflow.addListenerByName("ConnectionUp", _handle_ConnectionUp)
2. 基于进阶1的代码,完成ODL实验的硬超时功能。
- 先运行SendFlowSingle3,先通再断再恢复

- 直接运行SendPoxHardTimeOut,先断后通,能验证流表项生效即可

SendPoxHardTimeOut代码
from pox.core import core
import pox.openflow.libopenflow_01 as of
class SendPoxHardTimeOut(object):
def __init__(self):
core.openflow.addListeners(self)
def _handle_ConnectionUp(self, event):
msg = of.ofp_flow_mod()
msg.priority = 3
msg.match.in_port = 1
msg.hard_timeout = 10
event.connection.send(msg)
msg = of.ofp_flow_mod()
msg.priority = 1
msg.match.in_port = 1
msg.actions.append(of.ofp_action_output(port = of.OFPP_ALL))
event.connection.send(msg)
msg = of.ofp_flow_mod()
msg.priority = 3
msg.match.in_port = 3
msg.hard_timeout = 10
event.connection.send(msg)
msg = of.ofp_flow_mod()
msg.priority = 1
msg.match.in_port = 3
msg.actions.append(of.ofp_action_output(port = of.OFPP_ALL))
event.connection.send(msg)
def launch():
core.registerNew(SendPoxHardTimeOut)
四、个人总结
这次实验中我学习了解 POX 控制器的工作原理;通过验证POX的forwarding.hub和forwarding.l2_learning模块方式来初步学习POX控制器的使用方法;运用 POX控制器编写自定义网络应用组件程序,进一步熟悉POX控制器流表下发的方法。
