Connecting DELL EMC 5224F-ON to Faucet SDN controller

Hi @hrezaei,

I've just roughly went through the user guide of OS10; and there isn't any need of switch configuration (page 1505 of reference), and it's relying on the SDN controller. I would suggest seeking help from Faucet's GitHub to find out if there is anything wrong with the configuration. There is some requirement configuration on SDN controller, page 1506 of reference, maybe you might want to check it out.

Hi @DELL-Joey C !

Thanks for your reply and sorry for late response. The issue that I am having at this moment is I can't connect my 5224F-ON to any of the SDN controllers such as ONOS, Faucet, and ODL. The flows stay in "pending add" on the SDN controller. I did read all the documentations related to bringing openflow up on my 5224F-ON but no success yet. I can connect to all those abovementioned SDN controllers with a Raspberry Pi that runs Open vSwitch, so I believe there is something wrong with my DELL switch configurations. Thanks.

Hi @hrezaei,

What is the firmware version of the switch?

Hi @DELL-Joey C 

OS Version: 10.4.3.6
Build Version: 10.4.3.6.244
Build Time: 2019-08-19T17:26:44-0700
System Type: S5224F-ON

Hi @hrezaei,

After the switch has been cleared from configuration, has the switch been configured for OpenFlow-only logical switch instance?

Yes, I did. I went with OOB option. I see the switch in the controller portal but flows can't be installed for some reason. 

Hi @hrezaei,

I found a deployment user guide on SDN, unsure if it would be helpful to your issue. I'm not that good with networking, hence, do let me know if the document did help you.
