Ryu SDN controller with RESTful Mininet.

Prerequisite

• run_containers.py

Getting Started

Clone the repo first

$ git clone https://github.com/ngcdi-cam/restful-mininet-ryu --recursive --depth=1

Please note the --recursive flag.

Start with run_containers.py in Docker containers

Creating the Docker network

Create the docker network. You only need to do this once.

$ docker network create mas-network

Building the Docker images

$ cd mininet
$ docker build -t mbyzhang/mininet .
$ cd ../ryu
$ docker build -t mbyzhang/awareness . 

Running the containers

Then, run

$ run_containers.py -c ryu-config.yaml
$ run_containers.py -c mininet-config.yaml

or run ./start.sh.

---

To stop, run

$ docker stop mnet1 ryu-sdn-1

or run ./stop.sh

Start manually

Run

$ ./ryu/ryu_stp_switch start        # start Ryu in background. To stop, replace `start` with `stop`
$ # ./ryu/ryu_stp_switch start-fg   # alternatively, start Ryu in foreground, which is useful for debugging
$ ./mininet/mininet_rest start      # (as root) start Mininet in background
$ # ./mininet/mininet_rest start-fg # alternatively, start Mininet in foreground
