4. Configuring OpenFlow
OpenFlow is disabled on the Zodiac WX by default. Follow these steps to enable it and connect to
an OpenFlow controller.
Important:
It is recommended that you only enable OpenFlow while connected to the LAN port
and not wireless because if the controller is not running or configured correctly you will loose
connectivity via wireless as there will be no default flows installed.

To enable OpenFlow, go to:
OpenFlow
>
Controller
Set the
OpenFlow Enabled

.
The controller
IP Address
and
Port

Again click
SAVE & APPLY
to save your changes.
4.2. Viewing OpenFlow Information

1. Ensure that the
OpenFlow
enabled option is set on the Zodiac WX.
