To enable OpenFlow, associate a port or a VLAN to an OF instance. Ports and VLANs must be
associated when the OF instance is created and in a “shut” state (shutdown).
LAGs or port-channel interfaces are supported as of-ports or of-vlan members on OpenFlow.
By default, all ports are available for legacy functionality.
The following features are not supported on physical interfaces associated with an OpenFlow
instance:
• Dot1x
• Ethernet
• GVRP
• IPv4
• IPv6
