Introduction

Topology 2 is a "region aware" view of the topology, where the administrator can configure the network into regions and sub-regions.

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

 

Note that this view is currently "experimental".

Regions

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

Regions can be configured using a number of CLI commands:

region-add

To add a region to the model, the region-add command can be used..

region-add <region-id> <region-name> <region-type> <lat/Y> <long/X> <locType> <region-master>

where:

  • <region-id> is a unique identifier for the region
  • <region-name> is a human readable name for the region
  • <region-type> is one of the values defined in the Region.Type enumeration:
    • CONTINENT, COUNTRY, METRO, CAMPUS, BUILDING, DATA_CENTER, FLOOR, ROOM, RACK, LOGICAL_GROUP
  • <lat/Y>, <long/X> are the latitude / longitude (for geo layouts) or Y-coord / X-coord (for grid layouts) to be assigned to the region
  • <locType> is either geo (for geographical (map) layout) or grid (for logical grid layout).
  • <region-master> is a list of sets of node-IDs for mastership of the devices (see RegionAddCommand for more details).
