Configuring OpenFlow instances

NOTE:

  • Configuration changes are not allowed when instance is enabled. Disable the instance and make instance-specific configuration changes.

  • For a named instance to be enabled, a listen port or a controller, and a member VLAN must be added to the instance.

  • To enable an aggregate instance, a listen-port or a controller has to be added to the instance.

For more on Aggregation Mode, see Aggregation mode.

For more on Virtualization Mode, see Virtualization mode.
