Before building

The switch makes use of the NetBee library to parse packets, so we need to install it first.

1. Install the following packages:

   $ sudo apt-get install cmake libpcap-dev libxerces-c3.1 libxerces-c-dev 
   $ sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev flex bison pkg-config autoconf libtool libboost-dev
   

2. Clone and build netbee

   $ git clone https://github.com/netgroup-polito/netbee.git
   $ cd netbee/src
   $ cmake .
   $ make
   

3. Add the shared libraries built in /nbeesrc/bin/ to your /usr/local/lib directory

   $ sudo cp ../bin/libn*.so /usr/local/lib
   

4. Run ldconfig

   $ sudo ldconfig
   

5. Put the contens of folder nbeesrc/include in the /usr/include

   $ sudo cp -R ../include/* /usr/include/
   

Building

Run the following commands in the ofsoftswitch13 directory to build and install everything:

$ ./boot.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

Running

1. Start the datapath:

   $ sudo udatapath/ofdatapath -d=<dpid> -i=<if-list> punix:<socket> --no-slicing -I <Ip-inband>
   

2. Start the secure channel, which will connect the datapath to the controller:

   $ secchan/ofprotocol tcp:<switch-host>:<switch-port> tcp:<ctrl-host>:<ctrl-port>
