OPENFLOW COMMANDS
OPENFLOW
CONTROLLER
openflow controller
Overview Use this command to specify the controller name, address, and port number of the
OpenFlow Controller. If you do not specify a controller name, a name will
automatically be created using the following format: ‘ocxx’, where ‘xx’ is the
sequential number starting from 1.
You can specify one or more OpenFlow Controllers to the switch.
Use the no variant of this command to delete one or more OpenFlow Controllers
specified to the switch.
You can delete a controller by specifying only the controller name. If you do not
know the controller name, you can identify it from the show openflow config
command output.
Syntax
openflow controller <protocol> <address> <port>
openflow controller <controller-name> <protocol> <address>
<port>
no openflow controller <controller-name>
Default No OpenFlow Controller is configured by default.
Mode Global Configuration
Usage notes The older version of this command is supported. If you enter the legacy CLI syntax
(without the controller name), it will automatically adapt and display in the
running configuration as the newer syntax.
Parameter Description
<controller-name> The user specified or auto-generated (in the case of
legacy syntax) controller name that can contain
alphanumeric and/or special characters other than the
fo l l owing se t o f c h a rac ters: ' : ', ' =', ',', '[', ']', ' {', '}', '!', ' < ', '>'
<protocol> The protocol type to communicate with the OpenFlow
Controller.
There are two options: TCP and SSL.
Use TCP for an insecure connection. Use SSL for a
connection protected by TLS. OpenFlow switches
support TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2. The TLS version
used between an OpenFlow switch and OpenFlow
Controller is determined by peer negotiation.
<address> The IPv4 address of the Controller.
<port> Port number used to communicate with the Controller.
The IANA has assigned the number 6653 for this
purpose, but a different number can be used for local
reasons.
