UX Mediator

User documentation

The mediator is a piece of software to translate get and set requests between the SDN-Controller and the device. In our case we translate from netconf to snmp and back. Additionally the mediator is listening for snmp traps to push them forward to the SDN-Controller.

The UX Mediator is the graphical user interface to manage and operate one or more mediators.

Specification

The graphical user interface has a table view.

The table view implements the common ux-framework-table supporting sorting, filtering and pagination. Each time, a request to the server is sent.

The view shows the below fields.

1. Name
2. Url
3. Actions
   1. Edit
      
   2. Remove

The index is “mwtn” the doctype is “mediator-server”

The data-provider for getting all mediator servers is read-mediator-server-list

 Mediator GUI:

If a mediator server in the table is selected a detail view is opened.

In the detail view, one or more configurations can be added.

The configuration has three mandatory inputs:

• in the config tab: name
• in odl autoconnect:

  • a host name for the config

All configurations for the mediator server are displayed in a ux-framework-table.

Every configuration supports the following actions:
