MiniEdit 2.1.0.5

Well, I finally got around to doing the one feature I have had on my list since I starting making updates to MiniEdit.  You now can have multiple controllers in MiniEdit.  Now you can do OpenFlow islands, with different islands controlled by different types of controllers or if you have the supported controller, have a redundant controller for a switch.

Now, this also means that how you handle controllers takes a little more work than before. You will have to remember now to make the link between the controller and the switch.  A switch that does not have a line to a controller will not be under control of any controller.

So features in this release.

• Multiple controllers
• You can now set the default route for a host
• Many bug fixes

MiniEdit 2.1.0.4

Got some nice new additions this time.  Complete change list is.

• You can choose the switch type of IVS(Indigo Virtual Switch) or OVS(Open vSwitch) on a per switch basis now.
• Added jitter and speedup to the list of link parameters.
• You now have the ability to add VLAN subinterface to the hosts.  If not already installed, you will need to install the ‘vlan’ package for this to work.  ‘sudo apt-get install vlan’
• While your network is running, you can right click on a link and choose to change the link status to up or down.
