Associating OpenFlow switches, OpenFlow instances, and controllers
After the synchronize of controllers, SDNM automatically obtains all OpenFlow switches and OpenFlow
instances from the controllers and associates the OpenFlow switches, OpenFlow instances, and
controllers as follows:
• Associate an OpenFlow instance with the OpenFlow switch that it belongs to.
• Associate a controller with the OpenFlow switches and OpenFlow instances that it controls.
• Associate an OpenFlow Switch with a network device that is added to IMC.
Viewing the OpenFlow network topology
After the OpenFlow switches, OpenFlow instances, and controllers are associated, view the following
information about the OpenFlow network in the OpenFlow topology management page of SDNM:
• Physical topology of the OpenFlow network
• Logical topology of the OpenFlow network
• Status information about OpenFlow switches and OpenFlow instances
Viewing the Overview page
The overview page displays a variety of statistics about OpenFlow network services in pie charts, column
charts, and lists.
Accessing the Overview page
1. Click the Service tab.
2. From the navigation tree, select VAN SDN Manager > Overview.
The overview page appears.
Viewing the OpenFlow device status statistics
OF Device Status Statistics displays the status of controllers, OpenFlow switches, and OpenFlow
instances.
The horizontal axis represents the number of devices. The vertical axis represents the device names.
In this page, you can perform the following tasks:
• Move the pointer over a colored column to display the number of OpenFlow devices in that state.
• Click a colored column to display the list of OpenFlow devices in that status.
For more information about OpenFlow device status, see " 3 Managing resources ."
