[VTN-41] Failed to forward packets on OF 1.0 switches

As Luis said, VTN Manager system tests failed to send packets on Mininet.

The issue does not occur on OpenFlow 1.3 switches, but occurs on OpenFlow 1.0 switches.

[How to reproduce this issue]

1. Go into the Karaf distribution (RC1) directory.

2. Clean up environment.
$ pwd
/home/hideyuki/tmp/distribution-karaf-0.2.0-Helium-RC1
$ rm -rf data/
$ rm -rf configuration/startup/default/vtn/

3. Run the Karaf.
$ ./bin/karaf

4. Install the following three features on the Karaf console.
feature:install odl-vtn-manager-all
feature:install odl-adsal-compatibility-all
feature:install odl-openflowplugin-all

5. Create a vBridge.
PFA. I attached the script which I used to create the vBridge.

6. Run Mininet in OpenFlow 1.0.
> sudo mn --controller remote,192.168.2.56

7. Ping!
> h1 ping h2
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.0.0.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable From 10.0.0.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable From 10.0.0.1 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable

At that point, I saw the following WARN message output by VTN Manager.

addPort: Property has been changed: port=OF|1@OF|00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01, prop=PortProperty[name=s1-eth1,cost=1000,enabled] -> PortProperty[name=s1-eth1,cost=1000,disabled]

vBridge:vtn1.vbr1: Drop packet because outgoing port is down: src=86:47:c2:46:1e:a2, dst=f2:0e:a3:a7:16:ef, port=OF|1@OF|00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01, type=0x806, vlan=0

VTN Manager dropped packets, because the outgoing port id down.

However, if I restart Mininet, the issue is removed.

8. Stop, and Re-Start Mininet.

9. Ping again!
> h1 ping h2
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
