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.

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 of-
port 8, as shown below).

OF VLANs
Instead of assigning an entire port to an OF instance, you can assign a VLAN to an OF instance. You must do this when
the VLAN is created. You must enter OF VLAN members in the same way as a legacy VLAN.
