unable to ping from b1 to b2

[Santosh Bollam]

Hi all,

       

       when i am trying to run the rftest1, unable to ping to b2. the output of ./rftest1 is as below.

Note:- I am using RouteFlow-master code. so i am not using any topology and everything in one system only.

Hi Santosh,

It seems like the rftest1 script couldn't find the rfclient binary. Can you tell us how you built RouteFlow, and which directory you ran rftest1 from?

Hi Joe Stringer,

Thank you for your quick reply...
i have built the routeflow as

1. ./build.sh -c in RouteFlow-master folder
2. ./create in rftest
3. finally i ran ./rftest1 in rftest folder
4.now i have opened "sudo lxc-console -n b1" and trying to ping for b2, but unable to ping

Regards,
santosh

[Santosh Bollam]

Hi Joe stringer,

                  The below steps are the procedure for the both build and ran of rftest1

 1.  ./build.sh -c in RouteFlow-master folder

 2.  ./create in RouteFlow-master/RouteFlow/Rrftest
 3.  finally i ran ./rftest1 in RouteFlow-master/RouteFlow/Rrftest folder
 4.  now i have opened "sudo lxc-console -n b1" and trying to ping for b2, but unable to ping

Regards,
santosh

[Allan Vidal]

Hi Santosh,

We will need the output of ./build.sh -c to see what's happening.

Also, did you run all these commands with sudo?

Allan

Hi Joe & Allan,

I faced the same problem like Santosh when doing the "sudo ./rftest1" or "sudo ./rftest2":

Just like Allan said, I also added  "sudo" in each command like "./build.sh -c", still can't work it out.
Here is my output of ./build.sh -c:

Looking forword for your reply,
thanx!

[Joe Stringer]

Can either of you verify the versions of RouteFlow (using 'git log -1') and Ubuntu ('lsb_release -a') that you are working on?

I can't seem to reproduce this issue. It seems as though an incorrect OFPP_CONTROLLER value is being passed to the Action class constructor. When Action attempts to store this value internally, it cannot convert the value into the internal binary hex string format, so crashes. Although this is an expected behaviour of the a2b_hex() function (binascii library in python), I cannot follow how this happens in the rfserver code. You may be able to get more information by wrapping a try/except: call around the offending line in rflib/types/TLV.py and throwing a more informative message, including details such as the value of 'hexnum' and OFPP_CONTROLLER.

[Blake Young]

I had another look over this today with Chris Lorier, and we found a potential flaw on 32-bit systems. Can you confirm whether your machine is 32-bit with the results of 'uname -m'?

Below is a patch that may fix this particular issue. Let us know if it fixes the issue, or if you have further issues.

https://github.com/joestringer/RouteFlow/commit/4bd68dbc0a4fc26963bfe879d51806a4d0f2d1bc.patch

You can download and use 'git am 4bd68dbc0a4fc26963bfe879d51806a4d0f2d1bc.patch' to apply.

[Blake Young]

Hi, Joe, I changed my system to 64-bit and download codes on https://github.com/joestringer/RouteFlow, in which you just renew few days ago. and now i can successfully run your rftest1 & rftest2 on my pc.

I guess maybe 32-bit system is the problem.

Thanx again!

[Santosh Bollam]

Hi Joe stringer,

       It's working fine both testcases for me with virtual topology. Now I want do this with the physical topology. I used to work on the below topology.

                                        
                     Quagga | RFClient  --> On Fedora8
                     RFServer                --> On Ubuntu 12.04
                     RFProxy with Nox    --> On Ubuntu 12.04
                     Openflow                --> On Ubuntu 12.04

  Is it right to work. If any changes would have to do, please tell me.

Thanks & Regards,
santosh

[Joe Stringer]

That's good to hear.

Regarding using Fedora8, you would just need to ensure that the equivalent dependencies are installed for rfclient---the debian versions of these are listed in the rftest/create script.

RFProxy with NOX --- This isn't going to work without large time investment. Nox-classic will not build on 12.04+ due to a dependency on SWIG1.3 (and perhaps other issues). Alternatives are to use the Pox or Ryu implementations.

The rfserver config would need to be modified to use the appropriate datapath IDs for your physical topology as well.

[Kapil Agrawal]

yeah even I had the same problem when I was running 32Bit Ubuntu 13.04
I was even unable to setup the routeflow environment on my system.
Now I switched to 64Bit Ubuntu 12.04.2 .The Routeflow setup is working perfectly fine.
