OpenFlow instance connection interruption mode

Use this mode to set behavior when an OpenFlow instance on the switch loses connection with the controller.

Syntax

openflow instance <instance-name> connection-interruption-mode {fail-secure | fail-standalone}
no openflow instance <instance-name> connection-interruption-mode {fail-secure | fail-standalone}

fail-secure

If this OpenFlow instance on the switch loses connection with all controllers, packets and messages intended for controllers are dropped. Flows continue to expire according to their time-outs.

Default: fail-secure

fail-standalone

If this OpenFlow instance on the switch loses connection with all controllers, legacy switching and routing functions handle packets of new flows. Existing flows of this OpenFlow instance are removed.
