Deployment Guide

3. OPENFLOW INSTANCE mode

shutdown

4. Add a physical interface or VLAN to an OpenFlow instance.

INTERFACE mode

of-instance of-id

NOTE: For more information, refer to OF_Interfaces

5. Specify the interface type for the OF instance.

OPENFLOW INSTANCE mode

interface-type {any|port|vlan}

NOTE: Dell Networking does not recommend selecting any for the interface-type unless both of-ports

and of-vlans are required in a single instance. If you select

any for the interface-type, the number of

available ACL flows is reduced by half (128 of 256 entries or 256 of 512 entries).

NOTE: Dell Networking does not recommend configuring global spanning-tree protocol (STP) instances on

ports using both legacy virtual local area networks (VLANs) and OF VLANs.

6. Specify the OF controller configuration used by OF to establish a connection.

OPENFLOW INSTANCE mode

controller {controller-id}{ip-address}[portport-number]tcp

7. (OPTIONAL) Configure the timed interval (in seconds) that the OF instance waits after attempting to establish a

connection with the OF controller.

OPENFLOW INSTANCE mode

connect retry-interval interval

8. (OPTIONAL) Specify if flows installed by the controller should be interpreted by the switch for placement in L2 or L3

tables.

OPENFLOW INSTANCE mode

flow-map {l2|l3} enable

9. (OPTIONAL) Specify if learning bridge flows should be interpreted by the switch.

OPENFLOW INSTANCE mode

learning-switch-assist enable

10. (OPTIONAL) Advertise all forwarding tables (IFP, VLAN, L2, and L3) to the controller.

OPENFLOW INSTANCE mode

multiple-fwd-table enable

11. Enable the OF instance.

OPENFLOW INSTANCE mode

no shutdown
