Usage

Information

Dell Networking does not recommend selecting any for the interface-type

unless both OF ports and OF VLANs are required in a single instance. If you select

any is selected for the interface-type, the number of available ACL flows is

reduced by half.

Disable legacy LLDP on of-ports to avoid conflicts with the controller’s version of

LLDP.

Dell Networking does not recommend configuring global STP instances on ports

using both legacy VLANs and OF VLANs.
