In order to change the host address and port a particular service listens on, you can use below Floodlight provides many parameters and tuning knobs for the included server sockets, such as the OpenFlow server, the REST API, and the Jython debug server. You can modify the following configuration parameters in your properties file.

net.floodlightcontroller.restserver.RestApiServer.host = 192.168.1.1 net.floodlightcontroller.core.internal.FloodlightProviderOFSwitchManager.openflowhost openFlowAddresses= 192.168.1.2 net.floodlightcontroller.jython.JythonDebugInterface.host = 192.168.1.3 |
Controller and REST API server listen on 192.168.1.1, Jython server listens on 192.168.1.2:
