9.3.11. openflow failmode
This command configures the OpenFlow fail mode of connection interruption. It can choose the Fail-Secure or
Fail-Standalone mode.
In the case that a switch loses contact with all controllers, the switch should immediately enter either “fail
secure mode or fail standalone mode. In fail secure mode, the only change to switch behavior is that
packets and messages destined to the controllers are dropped. Flow entries should continue to expire according
to their timeouts. In fail standalone mode, the switch processes all packets using the OFPP_NORMAL reserved
port; in other words, the switch acts as a legacy Ethernet switch or router.
To reset to the default failmode, use the no form of this command.

9.3.12. clear openflow ca-cert
This command erases the Certificate Authority certificates used for validating the OpenFlow Controllers from the
switch. Issuing this command automatically disables and re-enables the OpenFlow feature. The new SSL
certificates are reloaded from the OpenFlow Controller on the first connection to the controller or can be
manually loaded with a copy command.
