Q.
Why routing protocols are not recommended to be configured on the interface with Easy IP
configured?
A.
With Easy IP configured, the interface puts all packets into one software queue to the CPU. If
routing protocols are configured on the interface, a large number of protocol packets will be
generated. Queue congestion might occur and some packets will be dropped, affecting the correct
function of the device. If Easy IP is not configured, the interface puts packets of different protocols
into different queues.

Q.
Do all types of cards support VXLAN?
A.
No. FIP-600 and SAP-4EXP cards do not support VXLAN.
Q.
Can I use the router as a VXLAN IP gateway?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Can I use VXLAN for Layer 2 forwarding on the router?
A.
No.
OpenFlow
This section contains the most frequently asked questions about OpenFlow.
Q.
Which cards do not support OpenFlow?
A.
The FIP-600 and SAP-4EXP cards do not support OpenFlow.
Q.
Which OpenFlow version does the router support?
A.
The router supports OpenFlow 1.31.
Q.
Does OpenFlow support controlling Layer 2 forwarded packets?
A.
No.
Q.
Does OpenFlow support controlling MPLS forwarded packets?
A.
No.
Q.
Does the OpenFlow forwarding process depend on the normal forwarding process?
Yes. The OpenFlow forwarding process must depend on the normal forwarding process in the
current version. For the router to forward a packet by using the OpenFlow forwarding process,
make sure the router can forward the packet by using the normal forwarding process. Otherwise,
the router cannot forward the packet by using the OpenFlow forwarding process even if OpenFlow
is configured.
