...

In its default state (where no "regions" or "layouts" are defined), it should look and behave similarly to (and eventually the same as) the "classic" Topology view.

 


Note that this view is currently "experimental", although the longer term plan is to bring it up to par with the "classic" view, which it will eventually replace.

A more detailed description of the current state of Topology 2 can be found HERE. (Steven to provide link)

Regions

The ONOS model of the network includes Region objects which can be configured with a collection of Devices (switches) "belonging" to that region. 

...

The following diagram illustrates an example hierarchy:

Note that the "root" (default) layout does not have a backing region. Any devices (and their attached hosts) that have not been assigned to a region will appear in the topology view at this the top level.

Layouts can be configured using a number of CLI commands:

...

Code Block
layout-add root @europe . . 4.66 -2562.93 -412.56
 
layout-add lUK @europe rUK root 11.63 -6652.54 -938.04
layout-add lIT @europe rIT root 7.15 -4818.73 -1330.36
layout-add lFR @europe rFR root 8.98 -5378.99 -1334.77

layout-add lMilan +segmentRouting rMilan lIT 0.86 68.58 54.71

Note the use of the dot (".") character in the definition of the root layout, as placeholders for the (non-existent) region-id and parent-layout-id.

Notes on <bg-ref>:

The <bg-ref> parameter should take the form:

...

Additional maps can be registered from an application's server-side UiExtension implementation.   (link to tutorial needed)

Sprite identifiers can be listed by opening the web console, making sure verbose option is selected, and filtering for the string "createLayout":

...

Additional sprite layouts can be registered from an application's topology overlay JavaScript code. (need link to tutorial on building a custom topo2 overlay) needed)


Notes on <scale>on <scale>, <offset-x>, <offset-y> values:

Currently, getting these values right is a manual process:

    • start by setting them to  1.0  0.0  0.0
    • enable debugging of UiWebSocket to see message transmissions between client and server
      • onos> log:set DEBUG org.onosproject.ui.impl.UiWebSocket
    • in the UI, pan and zoom the map to the desired location
    • in the log, identify the last UiWebSocket RX message for "updateMeta2"
      • 2017-05-26 17:07:15,750 | DEBUG | tp1445302012-173 | UiWebSocket                      
      • | 158 - org.onosproject.onos-gui - 1.11.0.SNAPSHOT | RX message: 
      • {"event":"updateMeta2","payload":{"id":"layoutZoom",
      • "memento":{"scale":4.66,"offsetX":-2560.646888427734,"offsetY":-409.13537841796875}}}
    • use the values listed in the "memento" field for your scripted command (you should be safe rounding to 4 decimal places)

...

However, by pressing the 'R' key, the map/grid view will reset to the <scale/offset> values configured in the layout-add command.

 

 

...

layouts

The layouts currently configured in the system can be listed with the layouts command:

Code Block
onos> layouts
id=lDE, bgref=@europe, region=rDE, parent=root
id=lES, bgref=@europe, region=rES, parent=root
id=lFR, bgref=@europe, region=rFR, parent=root
id=lIT, bgref=@europe, region=rIT, parent=root
id=lMilan, bgref=+segmentRoutingTwo, region=rMilan, parent=lIT
id=lUK, bgref=@europe, region=rUK, parent=root
id=root, bgref=@europe, region=(root), parent=root
