I am trying to pause an OVS with POX as described in

http://www.openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/ovs-ofctl.8.txt

The respective add-flow command is (thanks to pchaigno for his answer):

sudo ovs-ofctl add-flow c2 "dl_dst=00:00:00:00:00:01,actions=controller(pause)"

(switch name c2)

But, I cannot find in the POX documentation a way of sending such command to the switch.

  • Did you make any progress with this? – Astrophe Jan 27 '19 at 18:01
  • No. I think that POX does not support it properly. If you need this I would recommend using another controller, such as Ryu for example. – Daniel Jan 28 '19 at 19:00
  • I had some success sending remote commands to OVS using ssh, but I don't know how much further it is to get the remote command to come from POX. Also, there is the issue of plugging in passwords in ssh. I haven't used Ryu yet. – Astrophe Jan 28 '19 at 19:04
  • Well, you can use this module:https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko if you want to connect through SSH with POX, and you can set-up public/private key based connection if you don't want passwords. – Daniel Jan 29 '19 at 06:07
