  • ipv6 ipv6-address—Enter ipv6, then the IPv6 address of the controller.
  • port port-number—Enter the keyword, then the port number, from 1 to 65,535. The default port is 6653.

OPENFLOW SWITCH CONFIGURATION
Usage Information

You can configure up to eight OpenFlow controllers.

If you specify the security tls option, the OpenFlow application looks for the following certificates and private key in the following locations specified for certificate-based authentication. For information about obtaining certificates and installing them on the switch and the controller, see Establish TLS connection between the switch and the controller.

ca_cert (certificate that identifies the controller as being trustworthy)

/config/etc/opt/dell/os10/openflow/cacert.pem

certificate (certificate that identifies the switch as being trustworthy)

/config/etc/opt/dell/os10/openflow/sc-cert.pem

private key (the private key corresponding to the switch certificate)

/config/etc/opt/dell/os10/openflow/sc-privkey.pem

Example

The following example configures an OpenFlow controller with IP address 10.11.63.56 on port 6633 for the logical switch instance, of-switch-1:

OS10# configure terminal
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# switch of-switch-1
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 10.11.63.56 port 6633
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)#

The following example configures multiple OpenFlow controllers on port 6633 for the logical switch instance, of-switch-1:

OS10# configure terminal
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# switch of-switch-1
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 10.1.1.1 port 6633
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 10.1.1.8 port 6633
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 10.1.1.12 port 6633
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 10.1.2.17 port 6633
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 10.1.23.12 port 6633
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv4 10.1.99.121 port 6633
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv6 2025::1 port 6633
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# controller ipv6 2025::12 port 6633
