Configuring OpenFlow

1

Brocade(config)#no tag e 2/8

Now that, the port has become a normal port and VPLS instance is configured on the port, It will do
VPLS processing for that VLAN.

To remove OpenFlow hybrid mode from a port with configured unprotected VLAN and a VPLS
instance, execute the following commands.

Brocade(config)#

Brocade(config)#router mpls

Brocade(config-mpls)#

Brocade(config-mpls)#vpls v1 100

Brocade(config-mpls)#vpls-peer 17.17.17.17

Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-v1)#vlan 100

Brocade(config-mpls-vpls-v8-vlan-100)#tag e 2/8

Brocade(config-mpls)#int e 2/8

Brocade(config-if-e10000-2/8)#openflow enable layer2 hybrid-mode

Brocade(config)#

Brocade(config-if-e10000-2/8)#no openflow enable layer2 hybrid-mode

Configuring OpenFlow

With this feature, you can enable OpenFlow on an interface with Layer23 option in order to support
Layer 2 and Layer 3 flows on that interface. Layer23 option supports the hybrid mode OpenFlow
also. Configured with the Layer23 option, controller can configure flows with L2 and L3 parameters
together. A flow can contain these fields, Ingress port, MAC DA, MAC SA, Ethertype, VLAN ID , P-bits,
IP Src, IP Dst, IP protocol and IP DSCP.

By default, the OpenFlow feature is disabled on Brocade devices. You must first enable the
OpenFlow feature on the device before you can configure the parameters on the device.

Enabling OpenFlow on devices

After you enable OpenFlow on the device, you can enable OpenFlow on specific interfaces and
configure additional OpenFlow parameters on them.

Enabling OpenFlow on Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron XMR devices

Enter the following command:

Brocade(config)# openflow enable ofv100

Syntax: [no] openflow enable ofv100

The ofv100 keyword specifies the OpenFlow protocol version supported. Currently, Brocade devices
support OpenFlow protocol version 1.0.0.

Use the [no] version of the command to disable OpenFlow feature on the device.

NOTE

You must disable OpenFlow on all interfaces individually before you can disable OpenFlow globally
on the device.
