dpid-mac-address
Species the MAC address bits of the datapath ID (DPID) of the logical switch instance.
Syntax
dpid-mac-address MAC-address
Parameters MAC-address—48-bit MAC address in hexadecimal notation, nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
Default MAC address
Command Mode OPENFLOW SWITCH CONFIGURATION
Usage Information
The controller uses the DPID to identify the logical switch instance. The DPID is a 64-bit number that is sent to the
controller in the features_reply message. The DPID is constructed from the instance ID, which is the most
signicant 16 bits (default to 0) and the DPID-MAC-ADDRESS, which is the least signicant 48 bits. OS10 currently
supports only one logical switch instance and the instance ID is automatically set to 0. This value is not
congurable.
You can use this command to modify the MAC address bits of the DPID.
Example
DPID MAC address is 00:00:00:00:00:0a.
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# switch of-switch-1
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# dpid-mac-address 00:00:00:00:00:0a
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)#
Supported Releases 10.4.1 or later
in-band-mgmt
Congures the front-panel ports as the management interface that the SDN controller connects to.
Syntax
in-band-mgmt interface ethernet node/slot/port[:subport]
Parameters node/slot/port[:subport]—Enter the physical port information.
Default None
Command Mode OPENFLOW CONFIGURATION
Usage Information
Use this command to convert any one of the front-panel ports as the management interface. This port is not part
of the OpenFlow logical switch instance. All the ports are L2 ports by default. If you congure one of the front-
panel ports as the management interface, the port becomes an L3 port. You can congure an L3 IPv4 address only
to the front-panel port that you have specied in this command. Ensure that you have IP connectivity between the
specied port and the controller.
The no form of this command removes this conguration and the front-panel port becomes part of the OpenFlow
logical switch instance.
Example
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# openflow
OpenFlow 869
