The following per port counters are available in the flow table:
The following table lists the per-flow counters available:
Considerations and limitations
Brocade devices support version 1.0.0 of the OpenFlow protocol. Consider the following points
when you configure OpenFlow on devices.
• OpenFlow must be enabled globally on the device before you can enable interfaces for
OpenFlow.
• You must explicitly enable or disable OpenFlow on each interface using the CLI commands.
You cannot use a range of ports to enable OpenFlow on them.
