OF VLANs

Instead of assigning an entire port to an OF instance, you can assign a VLAN to an OF instance when you

create the VLAN. You can only create OF VLANs when the associated instance is disabled using the

shutdown command. Configure OF VLAN members in the same way as you would configure a legacy

VLAN.

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
