This document describes how to use the Unified Secure Channel (USC) feature in OpenDaylight. This document contains configuration, administration, and management sections for the feature.
In enterprise networks, more and more controller and network management systems are being deployed remotely, such as in the cloud. Additionally, enterprise networks are becoming more heterogeneous - branch, IoT, wireless (including cloud access control). Enterprise customers want a converged network controller and management system solution. This feature is intended for device and network administrators looking to use unified secure channels for their systems.
To install USC, download OpenDaylight and use the Karaf console to install the following feature:
odl-usc-channel-ui
This section gives details about the configuration settings for various components in USC.
The USC configuration files for the Karaf distribution are located in distribution/karaf/target/assembly/etc/usc
After installing the odl-usc-channel-ui feature from the Karaf console, users can administer and manage USC channels from the the UI or APIDOCS explorer.
Go to http://${ipaddress}:8181/index.html, sign in, and click on the USC side menu tab. From there, users can view the state of USC channels.
Go to http://${ipaddress}:8181/apidoc/explorer/index.html, sign in, and expand the usc-channel panel. From there, users can execute various API calls to test their USC deployment such as add-channel, delete-channel, and view-channel.
Below are tutorials for USC Channel
The purpose of this tutorial is to view USC Channel
This tutorial walks users through the process of viewing the USC Channel environment topology including established channels connecting the controllers and devices in the USC topology.
For this tutorial, we assume that a device running a USC agent is already installed.
