Class MockSwitchBank

java.lang.Object

com.hp.of.sw.MockSwitchBank

public class MockSwitchBank
extends Object

Represents a bank of mock openflow switches; useful for OpenFlow Controller and Application unit testing.

The mock switch bank is configured via a text-based definition file. This file contains a number of sections:

• [switches] - defines the mock switches contained within the bank and possibly used in the scenario
• [packets] - defines packet payloads that may be used in the scenario
• [scenario] - defines a programmed set of actions that the bank will execute when it is activated.

Notes: The [packets] functionality has not yet been implemented. The [scenario] functionality is incomplete; a base set of action keywords will parse correctly, but the scenario engine has not yet been implemented. As a provisional workaround, when the bank is activated, the mock switches are activated one after the other with a short (50ms) delay between each activation.

An example definition file is shown below. Note that blank lines and lines beginning with "#" are considered comments and thus ignored by the parser.

  ## Switch bank definition file
  [switches]
  SW10 = simple10sw4port.def
  SW13 = simple13sw32port.def
  

The records in the [switches] section take the form LNAME = filename.def where LNAME is the logical name that will be used to refer to the switch in the scenario, and filename.def is the name of the definition file describing the mock switch. The file is assumed to be in the same directory as the bank definition file.

This example will be expanded once the [packets] and [scenario] functionality have been fully implemented.

Constructor Detail

MockSwitchBank

public MockSwitchBank(String path,
              boolean showOutput)

Constructs the switch bank from a bank definition object.

Parameters:

path - the bank definition file path

showOutput - if true, output to STDOUT is permissible

Method Detail

activate

public void activate()

Activates the switch bank, by starting the scenario script.

resume

public void resume()

Resumes the scenario processing after a scripted SUSPEND.

shutdown

public void shutdown()

Immediately shuts down all activated switches.

size

public int size()

Returns the number of configured mock switches.

Returns:

the number of switches in the bank

expectedToCompleteHandshake

public int expectedToCompleteHandshake()

Returns the number of mock switches that are expected to complete the handshake process. The default implementation is the same as the number of switches in the bank.

Implementors should override this to account for switches with unsupported protocol versions.

Returns:

number of switches expected to handshake

getDpids

public DataPathId[] getDpids()

Returns the datapath IDs of the configured switches in an array.

Returns:

the datapath IDs

activate

public void activate(DataPathId dpid)

Activates the mock switch with the specified datapath ID. If the switch is already active (connected to the controller) an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

dpid - the switch's datapath ID

Throws:

NullPointerException - if dpid is null

IllegalArgumentException - if there is no datapath with the specified ID

IllegalStateException - if the switch is already active

deactivate

public void deactivate(DataPathId dpid)

Deactivates the mock switch with the specified datapath ID. If the switch is already inactive (not connected to the contoller) an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

dpid - the switch's datapath ID

Throws:

NullPointerException - if dpid is null

IllegalArgumentException - if there is no datapath with the specified ID

IllegalStateException - if the switch is already inactive

setInternalMsgLatch

public void setInternalMsgLatch(DataPathId dpid,
                       CountDownLatch latch)

Install a count down latch on the specified mock switch's message handler.

Parameters:

dpid - the id of the switch

latch - the latch to install

endScenario

public void endScenario()

Ends the scenario by checking each mock switch for failed assertions. Throws an AssertionError if there were issues.
