Controller enforcement levels for OpenFlow classes

The following table lists the enforcement levels that the controller can use for applications that
send flows to switches.

Description

Enforcement level

The controller does not manage flow modification priorities or validate flow modification
requests:

none

•

Applications that do not register OpenFlow classes with the controller are permitted
to send flow modifications to switches.

•

The controller does not validate flow modifications, even for applications that register
OpenFlow classes with the controller.

•

The controller does not replace logical priorities with actual priorities for flow modification
requests from any applications.

(Default) The controller manages flow modification priorities and validates flow modification
requests for applications that register OpenFlow classes:

weak

•

Applications that do not register OpenFlow classes with the controller are permitted
to send flow modifications to switches.

•

The controller validates flow modifications from registered applications against the
OpenFlow classes that are registered.

•

The controller replaces logical priorities with actual priorities for registered applications
only.

The controller manages all flow modification priorities and validates all flow modification
requests:

strict

•

Applications that do not register OpenFlow classes with the controller are not permitted
to send flow modifications to switches.

•

The controller validates all flow modifications against the OpenFlow classes that are
registered.

•

The controller replaces logical priorities with actual priorities for all applications.

Changing the enforcement levels for OpenFlow classes

To change the enforcement level the controller applies to applications sending flows to switches,
change the value for the

flow.mod.enforcement

key of the

com.hp.sdn.ctl.of.impl.ControllerManager

component.

1.

From the navigation menu, select

Configurations

. Then select the

Basic

tab.

2.

Select the

com.hp.sdn.ctl.of.impl.ControllerManager

component.

3.

Click

Modify

.

The

Modify Basic Configuration

dialog box is displayed for the

com.hp.sdn.ctl.of.impl.ControllerManager

component.

4.

Change the value for the

flow.mod.enforcement

key.

5.

Click

Apply

.

For information about the enforcement levels the controller can apply, see

“Controller enforcement

levels for OpenFlow classes” (page 78)
