Deployment Guide

Limitations
• OFPAT_OUTPUT to OFPP_FLOOD and OFPP_ALL are supported on the S4810, S4820T, S6000, and MXL switches.
• Multiple output ports are supported on S4810, S4820T, and MXL switches.
• The set/modify actions must precede the output ports actions. If you specify multiple output ports, the switch cannot transmit
different copies.
• You cannot specify individual output ports for ALL or FLOOD actions.
OpenFlow 1.3 Support
OpenFlow (OF) 1.3 [STD-1] is supported on the S3048–ON, S3100 series, S4048–ON, S4048T-ON, S6100–ON, S6010–ON, S6000–ON,
S4810, S4820T, S5000, S6000, Z9100, Z9500, FN IOM, and MXL switches.
Dell Networking OS supports OpenFlow 1.3 message types. Although OpenFlow 1.3 is enabled, the OpenFlow 1.0 functionality is also
supported. Additionally, the group flow and multipart message types features are supported. The multipart message types features
replaces the statistics feature in OpenFlow 1.0 version.
Match Parameters and Supported Values
Using OpenFlow, you can transmit the switch’s ports and forwarding tables to the controller, allowing the controller to configure
forwarding entries on the switch. OpenFlow also allows the controller to insert control packets through the switch and to redirect any
missed flow packets from the switch to the controller.
The flows in OpenFlow allow the switch to match based on the following parameters and values. The software forwards the match results
out of one or more network ports, with the option to modify the packet headers.
