Usage

Information

To enable OpenFlow, associate a port or a VLAN to an OF instance. Associate ports

and VLANs when you create the OF instance and it is disabled using the shutdown

command.

Before applying the interface, the software checks to ensure that none of the

following apply:

• L2 or L3 more

• LACP is configured

• Included in a LAG

• Included in another OF instance

• Not a destination port for a port monitoring session

If any of the above apply, the interface is not applied to the OF instance.

LAGs or port-channel interfaces are supported as OF ports or OF VLAN members

on OpenFlow.

By default, all ports are available for legacy functionality.

The following features are not supported on physical interfaces associated with an

OpenFlow instance:

• Dot1x

• Ethernet

• GVRP

• IPv4

• IPv6
