Welcome to the Packet-Optical ONOS tutorial of Packet !!!

In this tutorial, you’ll complete a set of exercises designed to explain the main concepts of packet-Optical use case of ONOS !!!.   We hope that with this tutorial, you’ll be able to create, configure and start multi-layer networks on your environment, which can potentially represent close to a real environment for your application performance studies.

To get you started quickly, this tutorial is distributed as a preconfigured virtual machine with the needed software. Just run the VM in VirtualBox using the instructions in the next section.

Introduction

Prerequisite

You will need a computer with at least 2GB of RAM and at least 5GB of free hard disk space. A faster processor or solid-state drive will speed up the virtual machine boot time, and a larger screen will help to manage multiple terminal windows.

The computer can run Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux – all work fine with VirtualBox, the only software requirement.

To install VirtualBox, you will need administrative access to the machine.

The tutorial instructions requires prior knowledge of SDN in general, and OpenFlow and Mininet in particular. So please first complete the OpenFlow tutorial and the Mininet walkthrough. Since Packet-Optical use case of ONOS we highly recommend to complete ONOS tutorial tooONOS tutorial is the only prerequisite for this tutorial.

Setup Your Environment

Install required software

You will need to acquire two files: a VirtualBox installer and the Tutorial VM.

After you have downloaded VirtualBox, install it, then go to the next section to verify that the VM is working on your system.

Import pre-configured Virtual Machine

Start up VirtualBox, then select Machine>New, give it a name, and select Linux as type and Ubuntu (64 bit) as version. Press Continue.

Next, configure the VM with 2 GB (2048 MB) of memory. Press Continue.

Select ‘Use an existing virtual hard drive file’, and point it to the vmdk file you downloaded. Select Create.

Now you can start the VM by double clicking it; once it starts you can login with user onos and password onos.

After some time you should see the desktop view for Ubuntu. You can open a terminal by double clicking Terminal.

Make sure to read the command prompt notes below; they’re important to knowing where to run each command.
