no
variant of this command to delete one or more OpenFlow Controllers
specified to the switch.

and the IANA assigned port number of 6653:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
openflow controller tcp 10.1.1.1 6653
To add an OpenFlow Controller with the address 10.1.1.1 using the SSL protocol:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
openflow controller ssl 10.1.1.1 6653
To delete an OpenFlow Controller whose address is 10.1.1.1 using the SSL protocol.

Parameter
Description
<protocol>
The protocol type to communicate with the OpenFlow Controller.
There are two options: TCP and SSL.
Use TCP for an insecure connection. Use SSL for a connection
protected by TLS. OpenFlow switches support TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1
and TLSv1.2. The TLS version used between an OpenFlow switch
and OpenFlow Controller is determined by peer negotiation.
<address>
The IPv4 address of the Controller.
<port>
Port number used to communicate with the Controller. The IANA
has assigned the number 6653 for this purpose, but a different
number can be used for local reasons.
