Configuring the maximum number of flow entries

To improve OpenFlow availability, extensibility flow table can have a maximum number of flow entries.

When entries in a table reaches the maximum number, the OpenFlow instance does not accept new flow
entries for that table and sends a deployment failure notification to the controller.
To configure the maximum number of flow entries that each extensibility flow table supports:

By default, an OpenFlow
extensibility flow table supports at

Configuring in-band management VLANs

In-band management VLANs of an OpenFlow instance are part of the VLANs associated with the

OpenFlow instance. In-band management VLANs are used to establish connections between the

OpenFlow instance and controllers in an OpenFlow instance.
When the in-band management VLANs are configured, the data packets within the in-band

management VLANs are not forwarded through OpenFlow, and the ports that are assigned to only
in-band management VLANs are not OpenFlow ports. Before configuring in-band management VLANs,

you must plan the network.
To configure in-band management VLANs:

Step Command

Remarks

management VLANs. in-band management vlan vlan-list

By default, no in-band management
VLAN is configured.
The in-band management VLANs of an

OpenFlow instance must be within the list

of the VLANs that are associated with the
OpenFlow instance.
