Deployment Guide

NOTE: You cannot assign the default VLAN as an OF VLAN.
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 OF instance in an OF VLAN, change this parameter to
vlan, as shown in the example below:
Dell(conf)#openflow of-instance 1
Dell(conf-of-instance-1)#interface-type vlan
Dell(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:
Dell(conf)#interface vlan 100 of-instance 1
Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#tagged tengigabitethernet 0/0
Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#tagged tengigabitethernet 0/1
Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#no shutdown
Dell(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:
Dell#show openflow of-instance 1
