The Implementation Of Virtual Machine And Wireshark

Decent Essays

Controllers: On behalf of experiments a Controller removes and adds the flow entries from the flow table. Using OpenFlow: This research shows about the implementation of OpenFlow in software defined networks. Main aim of this exp Install virtual machine and in the virtual machine install the latest version of OpenFlow and then access the virtual machine by SSH. Dpctl is one of the utilities that give control over the flow table of a switch and this is used for troubleshoot based on the study of the flow table entries. Mininet helps to create a virtual network in the virtual machine and Wireshark is a networking monitor tools with which a detailed study on the virtual behavior of the network can be seen by displaying the results on timely basis. The experiment starts by creating three hosts, an OpenFlow switch with three ports and a controller and dpctl. Configure the OpenFlow switch to connect to a server and this server acts as remote controller. Now add flows using dpctl and check the startup messages with the help of Wireshark. Verify the reachability and then create a switch and this switch has a capability to learn about the source-port mapping. Whenever a packet arrives, if the mac address of the device is associated with any port then that packet is assigned to that particular port else the packet will be sent through out all the ports of the switch. Now extend the study to two switches with each switch having a single host and configure in a way, so that each switch
