VLAN and the OpenFlow controller VLANs. See “Aggregation mode” (page 8)

for details on the use of this parameter.

enable

Enables the named OpenFlow instance or aggregate.

disable

Disables the named OpenFlow instance or aggregate.

OpenFlow instance mode

OpenFlow can work either in active or passive mode.

Active mode

New packets of a flow that the switch is not aware of are sent to the OpenFlow controller.

Passive mode

There is one-way communication from the OpenFlow controller to the switch. Packets that do

not match any flow in the flow table on the switch are not sent to the controller. Such packets

of new flows are handled normally by the switch.

NOTE: This option is only for an OpenFlow version 1.0 instance.

This command sets operation mode for an OpenFlow instance.

instance instance-name

Sets the mode for the named instance.

aggregate

Sets the mode for the aggregate instance.

active

New flows are redirected to the controller for the instance.

passive
