HP VAN SDN Controller and Applications Support Matrix

2.5.2 Switch support in OpenFlow-hybrid networks
IMPORTANT: In addition to the switch configuration requirements for the controller, this application
has the following requirements:
• OpenFlow-hybrid switches that are used with this application must support DSCP remark in
OpenFlow.
• For HP switches running K/KA/KB/WB software versions, you must configure the switches to
use OpenFlow 1.3, and no other versions, when negotiating with the controller. To configure
switch OpenFlow instances to use OpenFlow 1.3 only, set the OpenFlow instances to protocol
version 1.3 only (instead of 1.3 or 1.0). For example:
openflow
controller-id 1 ip 192.0.2.11 controller-interface vlan 20
instance aggregate
controller-id 1
version 1.3 only
mode passive
enable
exit
enable
exit
