Figure 26. AFC GUI — Build Query Window
Filtering Results
The query input form allows you to enter specific criteria for filtering results. Enter a Key-Value pair to
retrieve only records containing matches for the specified key or attribute. The value can be a regular
expression. To retrieve data results starting with a specific number, enter the number in the Offset entry
field. To specify the number of returned results, enter a number in the Limit entry field. To retrieve results
that include specific values, enter a comma-separated list of attribute names in the Fields entry field. All
other results do not display. You can specify filters in the URI (for example, sdnc/v1/switches/*?
key=swId&value=.23.&offset=0&limit=10&fields=swId,hardwareDescription). For more
information about filtering results, refer to REST Information Retrieval.
Summaries
The GUI displays information about the control software in the left pane. This information is categorized
into two groups: System Summary and Controller Summary.
System Summary
The system summary includes the following information:
• System IP — If you install the software in a Primary/Backup configuration, the IP address of the
primary server displays. If you install the software in a single controller configuration, the controller IP
address displays.
• Version — Displays the software version, including build number.
• User Name — Displays the name of the current user.
• Operational Mode — The software can operate in one of two modes: Primary/Backup and Cluster.
– In Primary/Backup mode, the software uses two nodes, with each node containing all required
software components. The active node is responsible for all control functions. The standby node
takes over if the active node is unavailable.
– In Cluster mode, the software uses one or more nodes, with each node containing one or more
components of the control software. The components form clusters and the responsibility for
control functions is shared by all components in the cluster.
