How to run Opendaylight in Reactive mode?

I use Opendaylight Nitrogen and it runs in proactive mode with L2-Switch module. Yet, somehow I couldnt find a clue how to make it work in reactive mode.

The reason to do is I try to see FLOW_MOD messages after after PACKET_IN. I appreciate any kind of help. Thank you.

Solution

  • Is it L2 switch only or L2 switch with Openflow on top? With L2 switch, you can configure the arp flooding, so to have it proactive or reactive, you can check below: https://docs.opendaylight.org/en/stable-nitrogen/user-guide/l2switch-user-guide.html

    If you enable openflow-plugin, each time a switch sends a new flows, you can see the Packet-IN traces using wireshark or openswitch dumps.

    Also you can look at this: https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/OpenDaylight_SDN_Controller_Platform_(OSCP):Overview

    Hope this helps
