8 OpenFlow Interfaces This section describes how you can apply OpenFlow to specific interfaces. • You can use the S4810 and Z9000 as Hybrid switches, allowing both OpenFlow (OF) and legacy functionality simultaneously. • By default, all ports are available for legacy functionality. • To enable OpenFlow, associate a port or VLAN to an OF instance. You can only do this when the OF instance is disabled (in a "shut" state). • OpenFlow is supported with link aggregation groups (LAGs); for example, you can configure port channel interfaces as OF ports or as members of OF VLANs. OF Ports The following configuration example associates two ports (Te 0/7 and Te 0/31) to of-instance 1: FTOS(conf)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/7 FTOS(conf-if-te-0/7)#of-instance 1 FTOS(conf-if-te-0/7)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/31 FTOS(conf-if-te-0/31)#of-instance 1 FTOS(conf-if-te-0/31)# To see the list of ports associated with an OF instance, use the show openflow of-instance command. The number displayed in parentheses is the port ID sent to the controller (for example., Te 0/7 is sent to the controller as ofport 8, as shown below).

You must do this when the VLAN is created. You must enter OF VLAN members in the same way as a legacy VLAN. 25
