OFTest OpenFlow Testing Framework

---

Introduction

OFTest is a Python based framework for OpenFlow switch testing.

In this project we use OFTest to ensure OpenFlow conformance of the switches used to implement the network infrastructure of the OpenCord project.

At this moment the switches supported are Accton switches. For more information abot that check the wiki page at wiki.opencord.org

This code base was forked from macauleycheng which was forked from floodlight. This documentationn aims to describe the specific test cases developed for OpenCord. To get started on the basics of OFTest please check their documentation.

How it is organized

This codebase is organized by branches. Each OFDPA release correspond to a different branch. At this moment the following releases are available:

OFDPA version	Branch	Status
i19	i19	Archived
i12	i12	Archived
i12_1.7	cord-1.0	Released <- current branch
2.0 GA	2.0-ga	Archived
3.0 EA0	master	Developing

The test case collection for OpenCord are under the folder ofdpa. They are listed under the section Test case collection.

Installing Prerequisites

Following packages need to be installed before running OFTest:

sudo apt-get install python python-pip python-dev python-lxml -y
sudo pip install ncclient
sudo pip install scapy pycripto
sudo apt-get install python-ecdsa git

Start Testing

On the switch side:

1. Purge the switch flow/group table by running

   	client_cfg_purge
   

2. Connect the switch to the testing controller

   	brcm-indigo-ofdpa-ofagent -t <controller_ip>
   

On the controller side:

1. Clone the source code and switch to the correct branch

   	git clone -b cord-1.0 git://github.com/opencord/fabric-oftest
   

2. Run all test cases in OFTest

   	sudo ./oft -V1.3 --test-dir=ofdpa flows -i 24@eth1 -i 12@eth2
   

   This command assumes you connected the switch port 24 to interface eth1 on the OFtest server and port 12 to eth2

Useful commands

• List all available test cases

  	./oft --list --test-dir=ofdpa flows
  

• Run only specific test case

  	sudo ./oft -V1.3 --test-dir=ofdpa flows.PacketInArp -i 24@eth1 -i 12@eth2

n/a means test is not available for that version of the pipeline.
