OpenFlow Instance
© Copyright Lenovo 2016
The G8264 supports up to two instances of the OpenFlow protocol. Each instance
appears as a switch to the controller. Instances on the same switch can be
connected to different networks. Each instance maintains a separate TCP channel
for communication of flow management between controller and switch. Each
instance supports up to four controllers. However, only one controller per instance
is active at any time.
Global OpenFlow configuration applies to all instances. OpenFlow parameters for
an instance can be configured using the command:
RS G8264(config)# openflow instance <instance ID>
OpenFlow ports cannot be shared between instances.
