  • 1.  Ping not working in HPE Aruba 2930F with Openflow aggregate mode enabled

    Posted Nov 14, 2022 12:33 PM

    I have an HPE Aruba 2930F JL259A switch which is used to try out SDN related experiments. But after the aggregate mode instance is enabled , the ping command does not work. It results in "Request timeout out" response.

    Aruba-2930F-24G-4SFP(config)# show VLANS

    Status and Counters - VLAN Information

    Maximum VLANs to support : 256
    Primary VLAN : DEFAULT_VLAN
    Management VLAN : DEFAULT_VLAN

    1. DEFAULT_VLAN (Primary VLAN) - Ports 1-6, IP Address 192.168.10.3 (Default IP: 192.168.10.1)

    2. OF_CONTROLLER_VLAN - Ports 7-12, IP Address 192.168.11.1 

    3. OF_HOST_VLAN - Ports 13-28, IP Address 192.168.12.1

    I'm using the RYU controller, and the initial handshake connection and configuration from the RYU side with switch seems to working correctly.

    Controller IP Address: 192.168.11.2

     

    Aruba-2930F-24G-4SFP(config)# show run

    Running configuration:

    no tftp server

    Any idea/suggestion as to why this is happening and what can be done would be really helpful, thanks!

    Not sure if you can name your instance aggregate. As far as I know, the aggregate keyword is for show commands to check across different instances.

    Maybe this video may help to get proper configuration on your switch. It's with a different SDN controller, but the switch part should be similar.

    Please note that I have not seen Openflow for quite some time. The interest for it seems quite low these days. The feature is great, but has not delivered what everyone hoped from it. With Aruba Dynamic Segmentation/User based Tunnel/Aruba Central Netconductor, you can do similar things in a wider used way.
