openvswitch / faucet controller

[Vieri]

Hi,

Before I dig further into this, I'm wondering if someone has already used openvswitch as a controller of Cisco Catalyst switches in openflow mode (C9000 series).

What I'd like to do is control several openflow-compatible switches from a Gentoo openvswitch server.
Is this possible?

My main concern is to control how hosts connect to the access switches and what they have access to. I would like to properly identify the hosts and route their traffic one way or another, place them in vlans on-the-fly, etc.

I haven't found a guide yet on how to do "just that" (the controller for host access).

Thanks

[EDIT]
So it seems that the controller is implemented with additional software such as Faucet (https://github.com/faucetsdn/faucet) which, however, is not available in Portage.
It seems that this software also documents specific switch setups such as Cisco:

I guess I only need Faucet (not OVS) if all I want is to control a pool of OpenFlow-compliant hardware switches.
