Week 4 and 5 Updates

Hello Everyone,

So, the network problem on the VMs was resolved. The issue was route was not setup properly on the VMs.

I had started working on the installation of ODL controller on one of the VMs but since the VMs are on private IP address, I'm not able to launch the DLUX service and access the DLUX API via browser. Even after able to use -i flag with the ssh command, I'm not able to launch the browser from the terminal.

On the second VM, I have installed mininet and robot framework required for running and creating the test suite and pushing the code to the upstream.

I had a discussion with the mentor regarding the steps to be followed for the installation of ODL controller and setting up the development environment. After the discussion, I had installed mininet and robot framework separately on the VMs.

After installing the ODL controller, I played around with the karaf console, installing new features, listing features.

Unfortunately, a bad thing happened. Accidentally, my VMs were deleted by someone in the Spirent Labs and I lost access to the VMs and the development environment setup. I got stuck for sometime till I get my VMs recreated again.

Meanwhile, I'm planning to go through the wiki pages and other tools on my system.

Cheers,
Nitika

Week 3 Updates

Hello Everyone,

I'm here in the third week of the ODL internship program and by now, I have got completely familiar with the various tools (RIDE robot framework, mininet, robot code). I also got myself acquainted with robot python libraries.

I tried to understand the basic longevity test suite, to discuss with my mentor in the weekly meeting. I have installed Mininet on my system and played around with it.

Though I got access to the VMs last week, but I'm not able to install any package on the system nor able to execute the update command on the system due to firewall issue or route not setup properly on the VMs. I have dropped an email to the Spirent labs regarding this issue and will update you more on the project work in the next week.

Stay tuned for more updates....!!


Cheers,
Nitika

Week 1 and 2 Updates

Hello Everyone, 

For the past two weeks, I have been working to become completely familiar with the various tools and applications to be used in this project. Now, I have got familiar working with RIDE, reading and writing robot code and mininet. I have also gone through the basic Longevity test written by Jamo, my mentor.

I'm still waiting to hear from the Spirent labs to get access to the VMs to start working on the installation of ODL controller and setting up the development environment.

In the last week, I also got familiar on generating API requests using POSTMAN. By now, I have gone through almost all of the basic wikipages of OpenDaylight, installing and running ODL, robot framework RIDE, mininet and robot python libraries, mentioned here.

Cheers,
Nitika
