HP VAN SDN Controller and Applications Support Matrix

NotesValue
using three NICs, you can use either three 1 GB NICs or three 10 GB
NICs.
◦ Separate NICs for Service Insertion tunnels from OpenFlow traffic.
When you use multiple NICs to separate Service Insertion tunnels from
OpenFlow traffic, you can use NICs that have different speeds. For
example you can use a 1 GB NIC for OpenFlow traffic and a 10 GB
NIC for Service Insertion tunnels.
If your configuration includes only two NICs, but they are the same speed,
you can use them for link aggregation or for separation of Service Insertion
tunnels from OpenFlow traffic, but not both.
