Snac Installation and Usage

Installation

The Basic process is outlined on ​http://www.openflowswitch.org/wp/SNAC/, I repeat it here in case they remove that page:

$ apt-get install openssl libboost-test1.34.1 libboost-filesystem1.34.1 \
    libboost-serialization1.34.1 libxerces-c28 python2.5 python-twisted \
    python-simplejson python-mako python-openssl tmpreaper  \
    python-sphinx libldap2-dev
$ tar xvfz snac_packages.tar.gz
$ cd snac_packages
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

This assumes you've downloaded the file snac_packages.tar.gz from the site listed above.

The Nox-core package didn't install initially because of misplaced pipe character (|) in line 307 of this file: /usr/sbin/ofp-pki. Deleteing the rouge pipe allowed dpkg -i noxcore_0.4.0~beta_i386.deb to install with out a hitch, the rest of the packages installed after that first error was corrected.

Point a web-browser to the machine and using admin/admin as credentials we were able to use the snac interface. The current method to access SNAC is via a browser from external2. Point the browser to ​https://nox.orbit-lab.org .
