Setting up a very simple controller using pox.

Requirements and Environment

You need python. I have tested my code on Ubuntu 14.

Setup

You first need to clone pox repository: git clone https://github.com/noxrepo/pox.git
Then switch into /pox/ directory and clone this repository:

cd pox
git clone https://github.com/Ehsan70/SDN.git

The repo is cloned into the folder SDN. But you need to copy of the files in the /SDN/ into /ext/. Or you can simply delete /ext/ and rename /SDN/ to ext. It depends if you are already working on anything or not. I assume you are new, do the following:

# in the pox directory
rm -r ext/
mv SDN/ ext/

So now you have the files setup. Make sure you have the files from this repo in ext directory. The reason for that is the fact that pox assumes external files are places in that directory. You can run a MyTest controller by exceuting:

# Move back to pox dir
cd ..
sudo ./pox.py MyTest

pox.py looks at ext directory and tries to find MyTest.py. Note that you should not put the .py in the command. You just need the command name.

Note

At directory pox/ext you can make your own controler. This directory is not under version control for pox, so it makes a good place to put your own projects. Files of this repo should be placed in that dir.
