ONOS: Getting Started

This is a short and fast introduction to ONOS CLI and GUI.  The project WIKI is a great and necessary resource but I wanted to develop a screen recording that could help launch a hands-on exploration of ONOS features.  Below is a session of interaction with ONOS to access forwarding plane topology information and also a peek at the capability to stop, start or install new applications in a running controller.

As you explore ONOS following resources might be helpful

  1. The published CLI
  2. The Quick Start VM on ONOS WIKI is a nice packaged introduction to the controller
  3. Mininet walkthrough tutorial is essential learning resource.
  4. Intro to Mininet video is also excellent.

The custom topology can be copied/downloaded and saved in a file with a .py extension (triangleTopo.py in the video).

I hope it will be helpful on your SDN journey.

    Thanks a lot for the nice vide, I followed your previous video and installed apache karaf, onos and Java, but the “ok clean” commad does not work for me.
    Is there anything that I’m missing?
    Thanks

    • Hi Demi, ONOS has changed a lot since I did the video for installation of Cardinal release. If you are installing the latest release, a good idea, some of the steps from my video will not apply.

    Hi Furruk,

    DO you have link or video which defines how ONOS controller can be integrated to our real network

    Like BGP config between controller and real router Network
