This video looks at how flow entries work in an OpenFlow enabled switch. In this video its done with Open vSwitch and adding flow entries via the ovs-ofctl command. The network is emulated with Mininet.

David, your OF videos are the best introductory OF videos on the Internet. I'm sure I speak for many people in saying thanks for sharing and please keep adding new material as your time permits.

@DavidMahler 9 лет назад

Thanks so much Jeff for that kind feedback! I definitely will!

David Mahler Hi David. I already sent you an email through youtube. I am using dpctl add-flow in a fat-tree topology and I want to install the flows in the switches manually with dpctl. I am following your videos and since I have so many switches in the path I am using 0_2_1 instead of S1 as your video has. I am getting errors regarding dpctl take 2 arguments, I fix that I do not see the rules installed in the right switch, all of the rules are installed in the 1st Switch. ANy help, please, I really need your guidance.

Hi David! All of your videos are AWESOME. Everything is logically connected and very Crisp Clear. I could not expect complicated concepts like SDN, Openflow, OVS etc to be explained in simpler way than your videos. Looking out for more of your videos. YOU ROCKKK !!! :-)

Greatly explained how to implement OpenFlow entries to the Open vSwitches flow table (single flow table). Can be done many different ways, such as by certain interface, by layer1 method (in_port), by layer2 method (MAC address), by layer3 method (ip address), by layer4 method (TCP). Also, there are also many other parameters that can affect to flow entry contents. These can be done in Mininet CLI but I believe it is also possible to do by Python scripts. This shows why centralized routing is so useful.

@ibrahimmohammed2025 3 года назад

Many thanks for the videos, I have successfully managed to add flow entries on multiple switches for load balancing in my assignment. Your information has made my concept clear. Thank you

Thanks for the video David, I want to go one step further I have single topology with 3 hosts. I want to block tcp port 5568 while keep other ports active while communicating in h1 and h2. I am trying this but no luck. del-flows command deletes all the flows.

@elligottmc 10 лет назад

Excellent work. Can you point me to examples of implementing full mesh and flooding broadcast and multicast traffic to different tenants on each host? I'm just thirsty for more detailed overlay flows. I love the granular control just would like to know how to support different types of traffic and see some examples.

@DavidMahler 10 лет назад

Replied by linkedin - but copied here: Some more details on flows on my vids here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tnSkHhsLqpM.html (overlay network in ovs w. VXLAN) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TD5wmoD7XOE.html (multiple flow tables, shows more OF flow entry examples, not overlay net. specific though) Also perhaps Brent Salisbury's blog post here: networkstatic.net/setting-overlays-open-vswitch/ This blog looks interesting too haven't dug into it much yet.... assafmuller.wordpress.com/ Other than that probably digging around openstack documentation may be fruitful (neutron w. ovs).... docs.openstack.org/

Hi David, for layer 4 matching, my python web server is not giving the same output that you have when doing a 'h1 curl h3'. I get a bunch of hyperlinks and not the statistical info you have. I did a tcpdump on h3 and 3 way handshake is established. I also tried 'h3 sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80 &' and got the same results. Here is curl output, any ideas why my simplehttpserver is not working? mininet> h1 curl h3 Directory listing for / Directory listing for / .bash_history .bash_logout .bashrc .cache/ .config/ .dbus/ .gitconfig .lesshst .local/ .mininet_history .profile .rnd .viminfo .wireshark/ .Xauthority distributions-virtualization-0.1.1-osgipackage.zip install-mininet-vm.sh loxigen/ mininet/ oflops/ oftest/ opendaylight/ openflow/ openflow1-cap.pcapng pox/

How can we add static IP to vport 1 and vport 2? I am trying to learn OVS on my Ubuntu box with KVM. I have single NIC connected to Internet and I want to create 2 Vport with different IP address for my VM's Like my single NIC have IP :172.16.1.18/16 and gatway 171.16.1.1 I want to have Vport1 =172.16.1.160 and vport 2= 10.10.0.20 and both vport should get internet access from my gatway 172.16.1.1. pls let me know how it is possible.

Great video For me last command curl is not working.. It sends html doc. Can u plz tell me where I am doing wrong?

@orthodoxNPC 3 года назад

i love how you call "control" "kettle" lol

@DavidMahler 3 года назад

Ya, when I first learned it I heard it pronounced that way, I still do sometimes but there are like at least 3 different ways I've heard people pronounce ctl.

@zhencao2281 9 лет назад

Thanks, David. Question: when you 'sh ovs-ofctl show s1', it shows the local port (s1) is PORT_DOWN, LINK_DOWN. But it seems this does not matter? Because when I try to add-port to one of my bridge (wlan0), the status of this port is down, and I cannot control this port then.

@milsonmun 10 лет назад

Hi David, mininet> h1 curl h3 curl: No such file or directory How can we enable Curl?

@DavidMahler 10 лет назад

Hey - you probably have to install it "sudo apt-get install curl" on Ubuntu, or "whereis curl" to see the path to run it

@milsonmun 10 лет назад

Thanks David I learn so much going thru all your videos today! Thanks for great lessons... #SDN still want to see more from you soon.

@Justaju19 9 лет назад

dear David, it would be better to upload some videos related to SDN security.thanks

Hello Yawar - thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about some security focused videos and add it to my list of potential future videos.

@superinnocentkid 7 лет назад

Hi David, the command: sh ovs-ofctl add-flow s1 dl_type=0x800, nw_src=10.0.0.1, nw_dst=10.0.0.2, actions=normal is giving me the error - 'add-flow' command takes at most 2 arguments. What do you think might be causing this error?

@superinnocentkid 7 лет назад

Ah okay, I just realized! There shouldn't be any spaces after the commas! Wow! That's something. Anyways, your videos are really useful! Thank you so much for your efforts David. Really appreciate it!
