After spending half the night up reading and watching various videos around SDN and the varied options out there, I stumbled on this great post by Brent Salisbury on working with Mininet and OpenDaylight. It was however a bit manual for spinning up more than a handful of times, so I threw together some bash scripts and a Vagrant file… well, from 0 to OpenDaylight in <15minutes happened:
OpenDaylightLab$ time vagrant up ... lots of output ... Install done, run the following: -------------------------------- ssh -XY 172.16.0.200 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 bash /home/vagrant/opendaylight/run.sh mn --controller=remote,ip=172.16.0.200 --topo=linear,2 --listenport=6633 sudo wireshark -------------------------------- You can also browse to http://172.16.0.200:8080 real 10m16.588s user 1m0.988s sys 0m15.827s
