I have used the following commands to put four hosts h1 h2 h3 h4 connected to a single switch s1 in two vlan with vlan tag 10 and 20,

First start mininet.

sudo mn --topo single,4 --controller remote --mac -i 10.0.0.1/24

then using ovs commands

first delete s1 as a shortcut to remove the ports sudo ovs-vsctl del-br s1

then adding switch s1 and adding same ports with tags

sudo ovs-vsctl add-br s1
sudo ovs-vsctl add-port s1 s1-eth1 tag=10
sudo ovs-vsctl add-port s1 s1-eth2 tag=20
sudo ovs-vsctl add-port s1 s1-eth3 tag=10
sudo ovs-vsctl add-port s1 s1-eth4 tag=20

now h1 and h3 will be on the same vlan ; h2 and h4 will be on the same v lan.

Now my question is how to do the same using ryu controller not using ovs commands but using programming.

I have done it not exactly using vlan but a list. Here it is.

In simple_switch_13.py

Add this line as global variable

port_to_vlan = {1: 10, 2: 20, 3: 10, 4: 20}

And in packet in handler add this after the actions = [parser.OFPActionOutput(out_port)]:

    if out_port != ofproto.OFPP_FLOOD:
        if port_to_vlan[in_port] != port_to_vlan[out_port]:
            actions = []

The final code is:

from ryu.base import app_manager
from ryu.controller import ofp_event
from ryu.controller.handler import CONFIG_DISPATCHER, MAIN_DISPATCHER
from ryu.controller.handler import set_ev_cls
from ryu.lib.packet.ether_types import ETH_TYPE_8021Q
from ryu.ofproto import ofproto_v1_3
from ryu.lib.packet import packet, vlan
from ryu.lib.packet import ethernet
from ryu.lib.packet import ether_types

port_to_vlan = {1: 10, 2: 20, 3: 10, 4: 20}


class SimpleSwitch13(app_manager.RyuApp):
    OFP_VERSIONS = [ofproto_v1_3.OFP_VERSION]

        # install table-miss flow entry
        #
        # We specify NO BUFFER to max_len of the output action due to
        # OVS bug. At this moment, if we specify a lesser number, e.g.,
        # 128, OVS will send Packet-In with invalid buffer_id and
        # truncated packet data. In that case, we cannot output packets
        # correctly.  The bug has been fixed in OVS v2.1.0.
