Setting the maximum number of flow entries for an extensibility 
flow table 

You can set the maximum number of flow entries that an extensibility flow table supports. When the 
maximum number is reached, the OpenFlow instance does not accept new flow entries for that table and 

sends a deployment failure notification to the controller. 
To set the maximum number of flow entries for an extensibility flow table:

Set the maximum number of 
extensibility flow entries.

By default, an OpenFlow 
extensibility flow table supports a 

maximum of 65535 flow entries. 

 

Configuring inband management VLANs 

Inband management VLANs of an OpenFlow instance are part of the VLANs associated with the 

OpenFlow instance. Inband management VLANs are used to establish connections between the 

OpenFlow instance and controllers in an OpenFlow instance.  
When the inband management VLANs are configured, the data packets within the inband management 

VLANs are not forwarded through OpenFlow. The ports that are assigned to only in-band management 

VLANs are not OpenFlow ports. Before configuring inband management VLANs, you must plan the 

network.  
To configure inband management VLANs: 

 

Step Command 

Remarks 

1.

 

Enter system view.

Configure inband 

management VLANs. 

in-band management vlan 

vlan-list

 

By default, no inband management 
VLAN is configured.  
The inband management VLANs of an 

OpenFlow instance must be within the list 
of the VLANs that are associated with the 

OpenFlow instance.
