Switch Profiles - Lenovo RackSwitch G8264 Application Manual

Switch Profiles

© Copyright Lenovo 2016
The RackSwitch G8264 can be used for configuring OpenFlow and legacy
switching features simultaneously. However, Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching
features can be configured only on the ports that are not OpenFlow ports. Legacy
switching ports and OpenFlow ports do not communicate with each other.
Alternately, the switch can be configured as an OpenFlow‐only switch if you do
not need to configure legacy switching features.
Based on your requirement, select the switch boot profile using the following
commands:
OpenFlow‐only: RS G8264(config)# boot profile openflow

The switch will operate only in OpenFlow environment. None of the legacy
switching features will be supported.
 OpenFlow and Legacy Switching:
RS G8264(config)# boot profile default
Legacy switching features can be configured on the non‐OpenFlow ports. By
default, the switch boots in this profile.
Reload the switch to apply boot profile changes.
