L2 Flows

L2 flows are only supported on OF VLANs. In the following example, of-instance 2 is used to

demonstrate an L2 flow. To use the L2 flow table, enable the multiple-fwd-table and flow-map l2

commands, as shown in the following example. If you do not enable either command, L2 flows are added

to the ACL table.

Dell#show running-config openflow of-instance 2

openflow of-instance 2

controller 1 10.11.205.184 tcp

flow-map l2 enable

flow-map l3 enable

interface-type vlan

multiple-fwd-table enable

no shutdown

The following example demonstrates a sample flow of-vlan 200:

Dell#show openflow flows of-instance 2

{packets} of-instance {of-id} command. For more information, refer to debug openflow

packets.
