The OpenDaylight instance can be configured through the +OpenStack Horizon interface, or accessed directly from the OPNFV Jumphost. The +Brahmaputra release of OPNFV integrates the latest +`Lithium stable release <https://www.opendaylight.org/downloads/>`_ or when deploying +an SFC or SDNVPN scenario will integrate a Beryllium release version. +OpenDaylight references +----------------------- + +For an overview of the OpenDaylight controller a good reference is the +`Getting Started Guide <http://go.linuxfoundation.org/l/6342/2015-06-28/2l76qt/6342/128122/bk_getting_started_guide_20150629.pdf>`_. For more detailed information +about using the platform the `OpenDaylight User Guide <http://go.linuxfoundation.org/l/6342/2015-06-28/2l76qw/6342/128126/bk_user_guide_20150629.pdf>`_ +provides a good feature by feature reference. + +It is important when working on your Brahmaputra deployment to be aware of the +configured state of the OpenDaylight controller in the scenario you have deployed, +installing an SFC scenario will for instance configure the OpenDaylight controller +with the required SFC Karaf features in the OpenDaylight controller. Make sure you +read the installation and configuration guide carefully to understand the state +of the deployed system. + +Connecting to the OpenDaylight instance +--------------------------------------- + +Once you are familiar with the OpenDaylight controller and it's configuration +you will want to connect to the OpenDaylight instance from the Jumphost. +To do this you should open a browser on the JumpHost to the following address +and enter the username and password: + + http://{Controller-VIP}:8181/index.html> + username: admin + password: admin + +Other methods of interacting with and configuring the controller, like the REST API +and CLI are also available in the Brahmaputra deployment, see the +`OpenDaylight User Guide <http://go.linuxfoundation.org/l/6342/2015-06-28/2l76qw/6342/128126/bk_user_guide_20150629.pdf>`_ +for more information on using those interfaces. + +It is important to be aware that when working directly on the OpenDaylight controller +the OpenStack instance will not always be aware of the changes you are making to the +networking controller. This may result in unrecoverable inconsistencies in your deployment. |
