Deployment Guide

NOTE: You can only create OF VLANs when the associated instance is disabled (in a Shut state).

There is an interface-type parameter in each instance. By default, this parameter is set to port, indicating that

the instance is used for OF ports. To use an instance in OF VLANs, change this parameter to vlan, as shown below:

FTOS(conf)#openflow of-instance 1

FTOS(conf-of-instance-1)#interface-type vlan

FTOS(conf-of-instance-1)#

To use both OF ports and OF VLANs, set the interface type to any.

NOTE: Dell Networking does not recommend using the interface type any unless both OF ports and OF VLANs are

required in a single instance. If you use the

any interface type, the number of ACL flows available to the controller

is reduced by half (for example, to 128 of 256 available entries or to 256 of 512 available entries).

The following configuration example associates VLAN 100 (with tagged members Te 0/0 and Te 0/1) to of-instance 1:

FTOS(conf)#interface vlan 100 of-instance 1

FTOS(conf-if-vl-100)#tagged tengigabitethernet 0/0

FTOS(conf-if-vl-100)#tagged tengigabitethernet 0/1

FTOS(conf-if-vl-100)#no shutdown

FTOS(conf-if-vl-100)#

To display the OF VLANs and OF VLAN members associated with the OF instance, use the show openflow of-

instance command , as shown below:

FTOS#show openflow of-instance
