Rate limiting capabilities on OpenFlow enabled ports
Rate-limiting support on OpenFlow enabled ports:
• OpenFlow ports (non-hybrid port mode ports): Normal CLI configuration of port-based rate
limiting is supported. Per VLAN rate limiting not supported.
• Hybrid port mode ports: Normal CLI configuration of port-based rate limiting is supported.
VLAN-based rate limiting supported on protected and unprotected configured VLANs.
• You must set the rate control for certain protocols at the global configuration level.
NOTE
Rate control for certain protocols, such as ARP, will be based on the global configuration. For a very
large burst of ARP traffic on a port, which may not be a normal scenario but could happen, the
system could become unresponsive.
VPLS support for VLANs on OpenFlow hybrid mode ports
This feature supports VPLS switching or routing for protected VLANS and for configured
unprotected VLANS on OpenFlow hybrid mode ports. It is supported on Layer2, Layer3 and Layer23
OpenFlow hybrid mode ports.
Limitations
• VPLS VLANs cannot be configured as Untagged VLANs on OpenFlow hybrid mode ports.
• System-max OpenFlow unprotected VLANs are limited to 4K. This number is utilized by both L2
VLANs as well as VPLS VLANs.
• L2 Switching is not supported on OpenFlow hybrid mode ports.
• Dual tagged VPLS Instances are not supported on OpenFlow hybrid mode ports.
• IGMP snooping is not supported on configured unprotected VLANs.
