NOTE: OpenFlow switches in the network must be configured to allow control by the HPE
VAN SDN Controller. In a controller domain, including a switch that does not support OpenFlow
or allow control by another HPE VAN SDN Controller creates separate clusters of OpenFlow
networks.
NOTE: Running the OpenFlow control mode on a specified switch VLAN disrupts the traffic
on that VLAN until the controller configures the required flow rules in the switch using the
OpenFlow controller API. You should create a separate VLAN for an OpenFlow control plane.
For information on configuring OpenFlow, see the latest OpenFlow Administration Guide for your
switch.
IPv6 traffic
IPv6 traffic running in the data plane of an OpenFlow network is supported when the controller
is operating with hybrid mode set to “true” (the default). In this state the controller is not aware
of the IPv6 traffic. However, with hybrid mode set to false (all packets sent to the controller),
the controller drops IPv6 packets, and they do not reach their destinations.
