openPOWERLINK running on mininet hosts

0

I'd like to run openPOWERLINK master and slave each on a mininet host to simulate connection and do some tests. I have Ubuntu 16.04.1 running on a VM, so I'd need to have both slave and master on that machine. However I don't know if this is possible, I really don't understand how openPOWERLINK works and I didn't find much material available on the internet. I think that it's possible if I have two different openPOWERLINK compiled apps running one on each mininet host.

So I'd like to know if this is a feasible idea and if there is any document, site or tip that could help me.

I have tried following the steps 6 and 8 of this tutorial to create the openPOWERLINK slave, but I got a segmentation fault error.

sudo ./oplkcnd-pcap output:

~/slave_openPOWERLINK_V2.7.0/bin/linux/x86_64/oplkd-pcap$ sudo ./oplkcnd-pcap

The seg fault on the first terminal occurs when I select the interface 4 (ovs-system) in the second one. What am I doing wrong here?

After the slave works properly, I am thinking about following the process described in this file from sourceforge to configure the master.

Thank you.
