Deployment Guide

• For L3 flows, flow priority is not applicable. Instead, the dst-ip network mask length is used to prioritize the flow,

with longer mask lengths having priority over shorter mask lengths. For example, an L3 flow with a dst-ip

network mask length of 32 has priority over a flow with a dst-ip network mask length of 31.

• Time-to-live (TTL) is decremented for traffic forwarded using L3 flows.

L2 Flow Exceptions

• If you specify a non-zero idle timeout value for an L2 flow and there is no activity or traffic, the flow is aged out

according to the MAC address table aging time configured on the switch. If the idle timeout value is zero, the

flow is not aged.

• Flow priority is ignored for L2 flows.

• L2 flows are supported on OF VLANs only.

Learning Bridge (LB) Flow Exceptions

• If you specify a non-zero idle timeout value for an LB flow and there is no activity or traffic, the flow is aged out

according to the MAC address table aging time configured on the switch. If the idle timeout value is zero, the

flow is not aged.

• Flow priority is ignored for LB flows.

• Dell Networking does not recommend station moves in an LB flow configuration.

• Parallel links or paths may not work in an LB flow configuration. Dell Networking recommends using port

channels instead.

• LB flows are supported on OF VLANs only.
