Flow Setup

This chapter describes the configuration options required to set up flows.

Sample Topology

In the following sample topology, two OF instances are shown. of-instance 1 has an interface type of port and demonstrates ACL

and L3 flows. of-instance 2 has an interface type of vlan and demonstrates ACL, L2, and L3 flows. L2 flows are supported on OF

VLANs only.

Figure 2. OpenFlow Sample Topology

To display the following information, use the show running-config openflow of-instance 1 command :

NOTE

: To display information, you must have an active connection to the OF controller.
