寫在前面
本實驗參考
- POX腳本設置好控制器的轉發策略,所以只要理解腳本。
- mininet腳本設置好拓撲和相關信息,所以也只要理解腳本。
- POX腳本目前基本看不懂。
- 本實驗我學會了:POX控制器Web界面,第一次真正的看到了流表項。
實驗拓撲

- 在該環境下,假設H1 ping H4,初始的路由規則是S1-S2-S5,一秒后,路由轉發規則變為S1-S3-S5,再過一秒,規則變為S1-S4-S5,然后再回到最初的轉發規則S1-S2-S5。通過這個循環調度的例子動態地改變交換機的轉發規則。
實驗步驟
1.搭建環境
- 安裝了mininet的虛擬機。
- 安裝了pox的虛擬機。
2.創建腳本
- /pox目錄下新建文件lab_controller.py,編輯其內容:

3.運行腳本
- /pox目錄下運行腳本lab_controller.py
./pox.py lab_controller
- 在Mininet下運行腳本mymininet.py
chmod +x mymininet.py
./mymininet.py


- 現在我們通過h1向h4發包,來檢測動態轉發功能。
- 在mininet終端輸入:
h1 ping -i 0.1 h4 #h1每秒向h4發10個包

- 這時在POX界面並沒有出現有用的信息,反而是一些warning信息。

4.解決方案
- 既然在終端中沒法看到發送的細節,我想到了Web界面。別的控制器都有UI界面POX也應該有吧?
- 我在一篇博客中找到了POX UI界面的實現方式:Poxdesk。
參考博客
- 運行POX腳本時要想使用poxdesk必須多加一些參數,對於本實驗運行lab_controller.py時,命令如下:
./pox.py lab_controller web messenger messenger.log_service messenger.ajax_transport openflow.of_service poxdesk
./pox.py 要運行的腳本 web messenger messenger.log_service messenger.ajax_transport openflow.of_service poxdesk
- 瀏覽器中輸入:http://pox-ip:8000/poxdesk 來訪問界面,其中pox-ip是本機IP地址。
- 進入Web界面后,我們打開s1的flowtable窗口。可以發現:對於目的是10.0.0.4(主機h4)的流表項在周期性變化,action中output端口在5,6之間切換。但是沒有4(交換機s2),這個問題沒有解決,可能是腳本本身的問題。


5.具體的連接圖
- 通過mininet中的net命令可以得拓撲的詳細信息,我簡單的畫了個示意圖便於理解:
