• The flood flow will timeout (removed from the switch) after

how many packets it is forwarding
• This field is only relevant when "is-proactive-flood-mode" is set to "true"
• arp-flow-table-id
• The ARP flow will be installed on the specified flow table of each switch
• This field is only relevant when "is-proactive-flood-mode" is set to "false"
• arp-flow-priority
• The ARP flow will be installed with the specified priority
• This field is only relevant when "is-proactive-flood-mode" is set to "false"
• arp-flow-idle-timeout
• The ARP flow will timeout (removed from the switch) if the flow doesn’t forward a
packet for
x
seconds
• This field is only relevant when "is-proactive-flood-mode" is set to "false"
• arp-flow-hard-timeout
• The ARP flow will timeout (removed from the switch) after
arp-flow-hard-timeout
seconds, regardless of how many packets it is forwarding
• This field is only relevant when "is-proactive-flood-mode" is set to "false"
• Address Tracker (56-addresstracker.xml)
• timestamp-update-interval
• A last-seen timestamp is associated with each address. This last-seen timestamp will
only be updated after
timestamp-update-interval
milliseconds.
• A higher value has the advantage of performing less writes to the database.
• A lower value has the advantage of knowing how fresh an address is.
• observe-addresses-from
• IP and MAC addresses can be observed/learned from ARP, IPv4, and IPv6 packets.
Set which packets to make these observations from.
• L2Switch Main (58-l2switchmain.xml)
• is-install-dropall-flow
• "true" means a drop-all flow will be installed on each switch, so the default action
will be to drop a packet instead of sending it to the controller
