Flow location

This command sets the location of flows for an instance or the aggregate. In hardware-only mode, flows are programmed only in hardware. The flows are located in hardware and software by default.

Syntax


openflow instance <instance name> flow-location hardware-only
no openflow instance <instance name> flow-location hardware-only

instance-name: Sets flow location for the named instance.
hardware-only: Sets the location of flows to hardware-only.

Default: Software and hardware.

NOTE:

If the flow cannot be added in hardware and the flow-location is set as hardware-only, an error is returned to the controller.
