OpenFlow 1.0 Support
OpenFlow (OF) 1.0 [STD-1] is supported on the S4810, S4820T, S6000, Z9000, and MXL switches.
NOTE: When of-instance is enabled with version 1.3, the OpenFlow 1.0 functionality is also
supported.
Match Parameters and Supported Values
Using OpenFlow, you can transmit the switch’s ports and forwarding tables to the controller, allowing the
controller to configure forwarding entries on the switch. OpenFlow also allows the controller to insert
control packets through the switch and to redirect any missed flow packets from the switch to the
controller.
The flows in OpenFlow allow the switch to match based on the following parameters and values:
Table 1. Match Parameters and Supported Values
Match Parameter Supported Values
Ingress port NA
Ethernet source address MAC address (nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format)
Ethernet destination address MAC address (nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format)
