Note: Same maximum per-controller as for a standalone controller. Team

members can work in ACTIVE/ACTIVE mode and can control network regions.

OpenFlow switches can be distributed across different regions as required.

Connected OpenFlow Ports

Note

The above measurements were done with the following server configuration set-up.

DL560 16 cores 2693 MHZ 64GB RAM

Results may vary based on the type of server used for the controller, and on the server

configuration.

For measuring flows-per-second, the learn.IP option in

com.hp.sdn.ctl.nodemgr.impl.NodeManager (under Configurations/Component) in the

controller GUI should be set to "false". (The default setting is "true".)

Figure 42 Reset "learn.ip" to "false"

If one controller in a team of three goes down, the team continues to function. If a second

controller goes down, the remaining controller suspends operation and the domain serviced by

the team becomes unmanaged.
