Onos controller can’t detect hosts without specifying src and dst mac addresses

332 Views Asked by At

Am configuring new application that detects network through onos switches then make all hosts ping each other. ( i dont want to use fwd or ifwd apps)

By starting mininet with simple linear 2 topology, i made the application but i can’t see that the mac addresses are injected in switch flow table automatically although am enabling lldp and arp on them, i must manually add each and every mac address to the flow table

Can someone give a hint on how to make it generic?

You might need the proxyarp activated first. Also, the fwd app will insert more than the MACs, I think by default it will use MACs, IPs and if possible ports as matching fields in the flow rule.
