Deployment Guide

Version Description

9.1(0.0) Introduced on the Z9000 and S4810.

Usage

Information

• Stacking for S4810 and virtual link trunking (VLT) are not supported on OF

instances. High availability (HA) is supported only with AFC.

• To enable OpenFlow on the S4810, the stack unit number must be zero.

• When you configure the OF instance, the interface type is assigned

automatically, based on the configured interface type:

– Port: No configuration (default) or configured for physical ports and port

channels only

– VLAN: Configured for VLANs only

– Any: Configured for physical ports, LAG, and VLANs

• You can create up to 8 OF instances.

• To modify the OF instance, disable the OF instance first using the shutdown

command.

• To establish a connection with the controller, enable the OF instance using the

no shutdown command.

• You can configure one controller IP and one TCP port for each OF instance.

• The number of supported flows depends on the flow type. The following table

provides the number of supported flows for each flow type:

Flow Type Maximum Number of Available Flows

ACL 256 or 512 (depending on ACL CAM carving)

L2 48,000

L3 6,000

• To avoid session timeout issues if you change the time or date on the system

clock, you must disable and re-enable all existing OpenFlow instances.

show openflow — Displays general information about OpenFlow instances.

controller — Specifies the OpenFlow controller configuration that the OpenFlow
