Configuring inband management VLANs
Inband management VLANs are used to establish connections between an OpenFlow instance and controllers.
When the inband management VLANs are configured, the data packets within the inband management VLANs are not forwarded through OpenFlow. The ports that are assigned to only inband management VLANs are not OpenFlow ports. Before configuring inband management VLANs, you must plan the network.
To configure inband management VLANs:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter OpenFlow instance view. | openflow instance instance-id | N/A |
3. Configure inband management VLANs. | in-band management vlan vlan-list | By default, no inband management VLAN is configured. The inband management VLANs of an OpenFlow instance must be within the list of the VLANs that are associated with the OpenFlow instance. This feature is applicable only to OpenFlow instances that are in the VLAN mode. |
