Owner's Manual

L3 Flow Exceptions

• Non-zero integers for the idle timeout are not supported and are ignored for L3 flows. L3 flows are

not aged out.

• For L3 flows, flow priority is not applicable. Instead, the destination IP (dst-ip) network mask length is

used to prioritize the flow, with longer mask lengths having priority over shorter mask lengths. For

example, an L3 flow with a dst-ip network mask length of 32 has priority over a flow with a dst-ip

network mask length of 31.

• Time-to-live (TTL) is decremented for traffic forwarded using L3 flows.

L2 Flow Exceptions

• If you specify a non-zero idle timeout value for an L2 flow and there is no activity or traffic, the flow is

aged out according to the MAC address table aging time configured on the switch. If the idle timeout

value is zero, the flow is not aged.

• Flow priority is ignored for L2 flows.

• L2 flows are supported on OF VLANs only.
