Usage
If the Controller connection fails, there are two operation modes available:
•
In
standalone mode
, if no message is received from the OpenFlow
Controller for three times the inactivity probe interval, then OpenFlow will
take over responsibility for setting up flows. OpenFlow will cause the switch
to act like an ordinary MAC-learning switch, but continue to retry connecting
to the Controller in the background. When the connection succeeds, it will
discontinue its standalone behavior.
•
In
secure mode
, OpenFlow will not set up new flows on its own when the
Controller connection fails or when no Controllers are defined, but all
existing flows are left in place. The switch will continue to retry connecting
to any defined Controllers forever.
Example
To set the Controller to standalone mode, enter the commands:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
openflow failmode standalone
