OpenFlow Instances
This section describes how you can use OpenFlow instances on a switch.
• You can use up to eight OpenFlow instances on a switch; the OF ID range is 1–8.
• Only Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections are supported on Dell Force10 switches. Transport Layer
Security (TLS) connections are not supported.
• Currently, you can configure only one controller IP and one TCP port for each OF instance.
• The connection is established when you enable the OF instance using the no shut command.
NOTE: You cannot modify the OF instance while it is enabled. To make configuration changes, you must
use the shut command on the OF instance, as shown below.
FTOS#show running-config openflow of-instance
