Default TCP. The default port number is 6653.
Command Mode OPENFLOW SWITCH CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
If you specify the security tls option, the OpenFlow application looks for the following certificates
and private key in the following locations specified for certificate-based authentication. For information
about obtaining certificates and installing them on the switch and the controller, see Establish TLS
connection between the switch and the controller.
ca_cert
(certificate
that identifies
the controller
as being
trustworthy)
/config/etc/opt/dell/os10/openflow/cacert.pem
certificate
(certificate that
identifies the
switch as being
trustworthy)
/config/etc/opt/dell/os10/openflow/sc-cert.pem
private key (the
private key
corresponding
to the switch
certificate)
/config/etc/opt/dell/os10/openflow/sc-privkey.pem
Example
The following example configures an OpenFlow controller with IP address 10.11.63.56 on port 6633 for the
logical switch instance, of-switch-1.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# switch of-switch-1
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 10.11.63.56 port 6633
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)#
Supported
Releases
10.4.1 or later
dpid-mac-address
Specifies the MAC address bits of the datapath ID (DPID) of the logical switch instance.
Syntax
dpid-mac-address MAC-address
Parameters MAC-address48-bit MAC address in hexadecimal notation, nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
Default MAC address
Command Mode OPENFLOW SWITCH CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
The controller uses the DPID to identify the logical switch instance. The DPID is a 64-bit number that
is sent to the controller in the features_reply message. The DPID is constructed from the instance
ID, which is the most significant 16 bits (default to 0) and the DPID-MAC-ADDRESS, which is the
least significant 48 bits. OS10 currently supports only one logical switch instance and the instance ID is
automatically set to 0. This value is not configurable.
You can use this command to modify the MAC address bits of the DPID.
Example
DPID MAC address is 00:00:00:00:00:0a.
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# switch of-switch-1
