Configuring OpenFlow

TABLE 8 Output fields for the show openflow command
Displaying the data path ID of the device
OpenFlow associates a globally unique data path ID to be used by the controller to distinguish
OpenFlow devices on a network. To display the data path ID assigned to the device, enter the
following command:
Brocade(config)# openflow datapath-id
"0000001bedb3d0c0"
Syntax: openflow datapath-id
Displaying the OpenFlow flows
You can display the OpenFlow flows that are configured on the device and their statistics. Enter the
following command:
Brocade(config)# show openflow flows eth 1/2
Syntax: show openflow flows [eth x/y] [flowid]
The show openflow flows command shows all the flows configured in the system flow table. If you
specify the interface, all the flows configured in the system for that interface are displayed. You can
specify the optional flowid keyword to display the flows configured in the system and associated
with the specified flow ID.
NOTE
On the Brocade NetIron CER and Brocade NetIron CES devices, statistics are available only for up to
2048 flows on a first-come-first-served basis.
Brocade(config)# show openflow flows
Total Number of Flows: 2
Total number of data packets sent to controller: 0
Field Description
Administrative Status Indicates the administrative status of OpenFlow on the device.
Controller Type Indicates the OpenFlow protocol version that is supported on the device. Currently,
Brocade devices support OpenFlow version 1.0.0.
Number of controllers Lists the number of controller connections configured on the device. Brocade devices
support up to three concurrent controller connections.
Connection Mode Indicates the mode of the controller connection configured. You can configure active or
passive connection to controllers. An active connection is initiated by the device. In a
passive connection, the device is in the listening mode, and accepts requests from
controllers. If the optional controller address is not specified, any controller can
establish a connection with the device in the passive mode. See
“Connecting to an
OpenFlow controller” .
Controller Address Indicates the address of the specified controller.
Connection Port Indicates the TCP port that is used for connection to the controller. By default, port
6633 is used.
Match Capability Specifies the matching rules supported.
OpenFlow Enabled Ports Lists the ports on the device that are enabled for OpenFlow.
