Figure 23 Example of VLAN health status view
The device status panel displays the details of the switch such as:
• The IP and MAC address of the switch
• The manufacturer and model details of the switch
• The firmware installed on the switch
• Switch connection status on the VLAN
The application uses the switch firmware information to decide if the communication with the switch
is through OpenFlow channel or through the application Insertion tunnel. For firmware versions
K.15.14 and lower, the application communicates with the switch through OpenFlow channel.
For firmware versions KA.15.15.0015 and greater, the application can communicate with the
switch either through OpenFlow channel or Service Insertion tunnels.
