Faucet on NoviFlow¶
Introduction¶
NoviFlow provide a range of switches known to work with FAUCET.
These instructions have been tested on NS1248, NS1132, NS2116, NS2128, NS2122, NS2150, NS21100 switches, using software versions NW400.1.8 to NW400.3.1, running with FAUCET v1.6.4.
When using a more recent FAUCET version, different table configurations may be required.
Setup¶
Configure the CPN on the switch¶
In this example, the server running FAUCET is 10.0.1.8; configuration for CPN interfaces is not shown.
set config controller controllergroup 1 controllerid 1 priority 1 ipaddr 10.0.1.8 port 6653 security none
set config switch dpid 0x1
Configure the tables¶
These matches are known to pass the unit tests as of FAUCET 1.6.4, but take care to adjust ACL table matches and any changes for future versions.
set config pipeline tablesizes 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 tablewidths 80 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
set config table tableid 0 matchfields 0 3 4 5 6 10 14 23 29 31
set config table tableid 1 matchfields 0 3 4 5 6
set config table tableid 2 matchfields 0 5 6 10 11 12 14
set config table tableid 3 matchfields 0 3 4 5 6 10 29
set config table tableid 4 matchfields 5 6 12
set config table tableid 5 matchfields 5 6 27
set config table tableid 6 matchfields 3 5 10 23
set config table tableid 7 matchfields 0 3 6
set config table tableid 8 matchfields 0 3 6
Create faucet.yaml¶
vlans:
100:
name: "test"
dps:
noviflow-1:
dp_id: 0x1
hardware: "NoviFlow"
interfaces:
1:
native_vlan: 100
2:
native_vlan: 100
Run FAUCET¶
ryu-manager faucet.faucet --verbose
Test connectivity¶
Host(s) on ports 1 and 2 should now be able to communicate, and FAUCET’s log file should indicate learning is occurring:
