Faucet on Lagopus¶

Introduction¶

Lagopus is a software OpenFlow 1.3 switch, that also supports DPDK.

FAUCET is supported as of Lagopus 0.2.11 (https://github.com/lagopus/lagopus/issues/107).

Setup¶

Lagopus install on a supported Linux distribution¶

Install Lagopus according to the quickstart guide. You don’t need to install Ryu since we will be using FAUCET and FAUCET’s installation takes care of that dependency.

These instructions are for Ubuntu 16.0.4 (without DPDK). In theory any distribution, with or without DPDK, that Lagopus supports will work with FAUCET.

Create lagopus.dsl configuration file¶

In this example, Lagopus is controlling two ports, enp1s0f0 and enp1s0f1, which will be known as OpenFlow ports 1 and 2 on DPID 0x1. FAUCET and Lagopus are running on the same host (though of course, they don’t need to be).

/usr/local/etc/lagopus/lagopus.dsl¶

  channel channel01 create -dst-addr 127.0.0.1 -protocol tcp

  controller controller01 create -channel channel01 -role equal -connection-type main

  interface interface01 create -type ethernet-rawsock -device enp1s0f0

  interface interface02 create -type ethernet-rawsock -device enp1s0f1

  port port01 create -interface interface01

  port port02 create -interface interface02

  bridge bridge01 create -controller controller01 -port port01 1 -port port02 2 -dpid 0x1
  bridge bridge01 enable

Create faucet.yaml¶

/etc/faucet/faucet.yaml¶

  vlans:
      100:
          name: "test"
  dps:
      lagopus-1:
          dp_id: 0x1
          hardware: "Lagopus"
          interfaces:
              1:
                  native_vlan: 100
              2:
                  native_vlan: 100

Start Lagopus¶

Start in debug mode, in a dedicated terminal.

lagopus -d

Run FAUCET¶

faucet --verbose --ryu-ofp-listen-host=127.0.0.1

Test connectivity¶

Host(s) on enp1s0f0 and enp1s0f1 in the same IP subnet, should now be able to communicate, and FAUCET’s log file should indicate learning is occurring:
