Compatibility with Dell EMC 5224F-ON

rezaeih opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi all,
I have recently started working on some Dell EMC 5224F-ON switches to set up a software defined network. While there is no "Dell EMC" or "Dell" or "EMC" available in the list of supported hardware for Faucet, I picked "Generic" but it doesn't work as I see 0 flows applied on my switches. Is there any workaround to get these switches work with Faucet?
The Dell documentation clearly says that 5224F-ON works fine with any Ryu based SDN controller so I assume it should work with Faucet as well. Any help is appreciated.

Faucet requires a switch supports OpenFlow 1.3+ and has support for multiple openflow tables.

If you are getting openflow errors in your faucet.log file when trying to configure your dell switch it likely indicates the switch doesn't have 100% support for openflow and this is why you are having issues.
