WEB BASED SDN CONTROLLER MANAGEMENT USING OPEN NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM

Abstract

Effective management and monitoring of networks are essential for ensuring their optimal performance and availability. Managing and ensuring availability in traditional networks requires network engineers to deal with high complexity and high risk of errors. To reduce this, it is necessary to use Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture that allows centralized management of network devices to make it easier for network engineers to ensure that the network is always at its optimal state. SDN controllers, such as the Open Network Operating System (ONOS), provide a simplified yet powerful of managing and monitoring networks. In this regard, ONOS provide a set of REST API that can be used to interact with its controller. This project shows the development of a web-based application for managing a network using the ONOS SDN controller's REST API. The application was built using Vue.js web framework and ONOS's REST API. The application will provide a user-friendly interface for network engineers to interact with the ONOS controller, allowing them to configure and manage network devices, to view real- time network metrics, and to perform various network management tasks. Overall, the application serves as a useful tool for network administrators to efficiently manage and monitor their network using the ONOS SDN controller.
