Reference Guide

ii. Configure the logical switch instance, of-switch-1.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# switch of-switch-1
b. Option 2; for in-band management:
i. Configure one of the front-panel ports as the management port.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# in-band-mgmt interface ethernet 1/1/1
OS10 (config-openflow)#
ii. Configure an IPv4 address on the front-panel management port.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10 (config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
OS10 (conf-if-eth1/1/1)# ip address 11.1.1.1/24
OS10 (conf-if-eth1/1/1)# no shutdown
iii. Configure the logical switch instance, of-switch-1.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# switch of-switch-1
4. Configure the OpenFlow controller to establish a connection with the logical switch instance.
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 ip-address port port-id
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 10.1.1.1 port 6633
where a.b.c.d is the IP address of the controller and port 6633 is for OpenFlow communication.
5. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the logical switch instance.
OS10 (config-openflow-switch) no shutdown
Establish TLS connection
● Generate the switch and controller certificates from a server that supports public-key infrastructure (PKI). You need the
following certificates:
○ Controller certificate
○ Switch certificate
○ Private key file to verify the switch certificate
● The certificates and private key files must be in the Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) format.
For certificate-based authentication, you must establish a TLS connection between the switch and the controller before you
configure OpenFlow on the switch. The following procedure explains how to install the controller and switch certificates on the
OS10 switch. Refer to the controller documentation for information on how to install the certificates on the controller.
NOTE:
This procedure is optional. Use this procedure if you want to configure certificate-based authentication between the
switch and the controller.
1. Log in to the OS10 switch with administrator credentials.
2. Enter the following command to copy the certificates to the OS10 switch.
In the following commands, the destination path and the destination file name on the OS10 switch, for example,
config://../openflow/cacert.pem, remain the same in your deployment. Ensure that you enter the destination
path and destination file names as specified in the following example:
OS10# copy scp://username:password@server-ip/full-path-to-the-certificates/controller-
cert.pem config://../openflow/cacert.pem
OS10# copy scp://username:password@server-ip/full-path-to-the-certificates/switch-
