For a Tallac AP the switch id is not its DPID, but is instead the Tallac VNET identifier for the VNET you create via the Tallac cloud management GUI.

How To Manually Obtain The Tallac VNET Identifier

These steps assume you have created a VNET using the Tallac cloud management GUI. If you have no VNETs defined then you have no VNET identifiers.

  1. In the Tallac cloud management GUI on the left side, near the bottom, select "Developer Docs"

  2. On the developer docs page, enter your Tallac username and password and select 'Get Token' to obtain a token

  3. On the developer docs page, select 'Network Services' to see available commands

  4. Select GET api/service_provider/network_services

  5. You will be returned a list of the VNETs you have created in Tallac cloud management GUI. Find the entry for the VNET to which you want to connect your SDN application.

    
{
"id": 1095,
"vnet_id": "/virtual-network/1033394176966106949932",
"venue_id": 158,
"venue_name": "SDN App Test Site",
"tenant_id": 186,
"tenant_org_name": "SDN App Test Customer",
"nas_id_format": null,
"ssid": "AlexTest",
"hidden": false,
"brokered": false,
"security": "plain-text",
"path_id": "1064757635676517032494",
"bandwidth_cap_up": 0,
"bandwidth_cap_down": 0
},

  6. In the VNET copy the number (and the number only) from the vnet_id entry and use this as the value for 'switch id' on the example SDN application. In the example above this would be: 1033394176966106949932

  7. When your application is active the Tallac AP will appear on your 'Switches' table in your SDN Developer Lab. When your application is not active the Tallac AP will no longer appear.
