User Guidelines
This command configures the switch to select an IP address from a particular
type of interface. The selected IP address is used as the local end-point of the
IP connections to the OpenFlow controllers.
The administrator can allow the switch to automatically assign an IP address
to the OpenFlow feature or to specifically select which address should be
used. The administrator can also direct the OpenFlow feature to always use
the out-of-band interface.
When in auto mode, the switch selects an IP address from an interface in this
order:
1 The loopback interfaces.
2 The routing interfaces.
3 The out-of-band interface.
Once the IP address is selected, it is used until the interface goes down or the
OpenFlow feature is disabled or, in case of automatic address selection, a
more preferred interface becomes available.
Only IPv4 addresses are supported for OpenFlow controllers.
Changing the mode causes the connections to controllers to be dropped, and
if properly configured, re-established.
