Abstract

VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a technology that can configure logical networks independent of the physical network structure. Results from previous studies have predicted that it takes Virtual Network which eventually creates a VLAN. However, the current network paradigm is not flexible, very large dependency on vendors as a function of data plane and control plane in the same device package. SDN (Software defined network) which is one of the main evolution of network technology in accordance with the growing demands which separates the functions of data plane and control plane on a device. The author tries simulates and tests Platform SDN (Software defined network) using POX Controller. In this study, using OpenFlow version 1.0 to install the VLAN header so that this study focused on evaluating the performance of forwarding VLAN that utilizes OpenFlow as a control plane function properly. Results of this study proposes the application of the characteristics of the SDN VLAN technology because it has been running correctly according to the results of testing connectivity, and security verification. Then the results of further testing to see the effect of SDN with a scenario of increasing the number of VLAN ID was found that set-up time will increase with increasing number of host and using protocol OpenFlow we can monitor the latency that occurs on the network with parameter round trip time (RTT) stable extended 0.2 to 6 second, although the number vlan_id and background traffic increases
