Usage guidelines

To change the VLAN configuration or flow table configuration of an activated OpenFlow instance, perform the following tasks:

1.     Use the undo active instance command to deactivate the OpenFlow instance.

If you do not deactivate the OpenFlow instance first, the system prompts an error.

2.     Modify the VLAN configuration or flow table configuration for the OpenFlow instance.

3.     Use the active instance command to reactivate the instance to make the configuration change take effect.

Examples

# Activate OpenFlow instance 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] openflow instance 1

[Sysname-of-inst-1] active instance

classification

Use classification to configure the OpenFlow instance mode.

Use undo classification to remove the configuration.

Syntax

classification { global | vlan vlan-id [ mask vlan-mask ] [ loosen ] }

undo classification

Default

The OpenFlow instance mode is not configured.

Parameters

global: Specifies the global mode.

vlan: Specifies the VLAN mode.

vlan-id: Specifies the VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4094.

vlan-mask: Specifies a VLAN mask in the range of 0 to 4095. The default value is 4095.

loosen: Specifies the loosen mode. If the loosen mode is used, a port belongs to the OpenFlow instance when VLANs associated with the OpenFlow instance overlap with the port's allowed VLANs. Otherwise, a port belongs to an OpenFlow instance only when VLANs associated with the OpenFlow instance are within the port's allowed VLAN list.

Usage guidelines

The VLANs to be associated are calculated by a bitwise AND operation on the specified VLAN ID and mask. The VLAN mask supports non-contiguous 1s and ignores all 0 bits. To view the associated VLANs, use the display openflow instance command.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Examples

# Associate OpenFlow instance 1 with a list of VLANs determined by VLAN ID 255 and VLAN mask 7.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] openflow instance 1

[Sysname-of-inst-1] classification vlan 255 mask 7

controller address

Use controller address to specify a controller for an OpenFlow switch and configure the main connection to the controller.

Use undo controller address to remove the configuration.

Syntax

controller controller-id address { ip ip-address | ipv6 ipv6-address } [ port port-number ] [ local address { ip local-ip-address | ipv6 local-ipv6-address } [ port local-port- number ] ] [ ssl ssl-policy-name ] [ vrf vrf-name ]

undo controller controller-id address

Default

An OpenFlow instance does not have a main connection to a controller.

Parameters

controller-id: Specifies a controller by its ID in the range of 0 to 63.

ip ip-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the controller.

ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of the controller.

port port-number: Sets the port number used to establish TCP connections to the controller. The value range for the port number is 1 to 65535. The default value is 6633.

local address: Specifies the source IP address used to establish TCP connections to the controller. When multiple routes are available between a controller and a switch, you can use this keyword to configure a source IP address for the switch. When the switch restarts or an active/standby switchover occurs, the switch can use the original route to reconnect to the controller without selecting a new route.

ip local-ip-address: Specifies the source IPv4 address.

ipv6 local-ipv6-address: Specifies the source IPv6 address.

port local-port-number: Specifies the source port number in the range of 1 to 65535. If you do not specify a source port number, the system automatically assigns a source port number during connection establishment.

ssl ssl-policy-name: Specifies the SSL client policy that the controller uses to authenticate the OpenFlow switch. The ssl-policy-name argument is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 31 characters.

vrf vrf-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If you do not specify this option, the controller belongs to the public network.

Usage guidelines

You can specify multiple controllers for an OpenFlow switch. The OpenFlow channel between the OpenFlow switch and each controller can have only one main connection.

The OpenFlow switch uses the main connection to a controller to exchange control messages with the controller to perform the following operations:

·     Receive flow table entries or data from the controller.

·     Report information to the controller.

As a best practice, configure a unicast IP address for a controller. Otherwise, an OpenFlow switch might fail to establish a connection with the controller.

As a best practice, configure a unicast source IP address that is the IP address of a port belonging to the OpenFlow instance. Otherwise, the OpenFlow switch might fail to establish a connection with the controller.

Examples

# Specify controller 1 for OpenFlow instance 1. The controller's IP address is 1.1.1.1 and the port number is 6666.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] openflow instance 1

[Sysname-of-inst-1] controller 1 address ip 1.1.1.1 port 6666

Parameters

interval-value: Sets a reconnection interval in the range of 10 to 120 seconds.

Usage guidelines

The OpenFlow switch waits until the reconnection interval has expired before it attempts to reconnect to a controller.

Examples

# Set the reconnection interval to 10 seconds for OpenFlow instance 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] openflow instance 1

[Sysname-of-inst-1] controller connect interval 10

controller echo-request interval

Parameters

interval-value: Sets the connection detection interval in the range of 1 to 10 seconds.

Usage guidelines

The connection detection interval specifies the interval at which the OpenFlow switch sends an Echo Request message to a controller.

Examples

# Set the connection detection interval to 10 seconds for OpenFlow instance 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] openflow instance 1

[Sysname-of-inst-1] controller echo-request interval 10

controller mode

Use controller mode to set the controller mode for an OpenFlow instance.

Use undo controller mode to restore the default.

Syntax

controller mode { multiple | single }

undo controller mode

Default

The controller mode is multiple.

Views

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

multiple: Specifies the multiple mode.

single: Specifies the single mode.

Usage guidelines

In single mode, the OpenFlow switch connects to only one controller at a time. When communication with the current controller fails, the OpenFlow instance uses another controller.

In multiple mode, the OpenFlow switch simultaneously connects to all controllers. If one or more controllers become invalid or disconnected, the OpenFlow switch continues to exchange messages with the rest of the controllers.

Examples

# Set all controllers of OpenFlow instance 1 to operate in single mode.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] openflow instance 1

[Sysname-of-inst-1] controller mode single

controller tcp nsr disable

Use controller tcp nsr disable to disable OpenFlow connection backup.

Use undo controller tcp nsr disable to restore the default.

Usage guidelines

This command takes effect only on OpenFlow connections that the OpenFlow instance establishes with controllers through TCP.

By default, an OpenFlow instance backs up OpenFlow connections established over TCP on the standby MPU. This prevents connection interruption when an active/standby switchover occurs.

Examples

# Disable OpenFlow connection backup for OpenFlow instance 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] openflow instance 1

[Sysname-of-inst-1] controller tcp nsr disable
