Global mode—When the global mode is enabled for an OpenFlow instance, the flow entries take

effect on packets within the network. All interfaces on the device belong to the OpenFlow instance,
including VLAN interfaces and Layer 2 or Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces.

When you associate an OpenFlow instance with VLANs, follow these guidelines:

Do not associate multiple OpenFlow instances with the same VLAN. Otherwise, VLAN traffic
cannot be correctly processed.

When you activate an OpenFlow instance that is associated with non-existent VLANs, the system
automatically creates these VLANs. Do not delete any of the associated VLANs after the OpenFlow

instance is activated.

Do not configure the BFD MAD function on the VLAN interface for a VLAN that is associated with
an OpenFlow instance. For more information about the BFD MAD function, see IRF Configuration

Guide.
