User Guidelines
This command configures the switch to accept a connection request from a
controller. When passive mode is enabled, the switch accepts TCP
connections to ports 6632 and 6633 respectively using any switch IP address.
In this mode, the switch continues to attempt to initiate connections to
configured controllers.
The OpenFlow component always initiates the SSL connections and does not
accept SSL connections.
