in-band-mgmt
Congures the front-panel ports as the management interface that the SDN controller connects to.
Syntax
in-band-mgmt interface ethernet node/slot/port[:subport]
Parameters node/slot/port[:subport]—Enter the physical port information.
Default None
Command Mode OPENFLOW CONFIGURATION
Usage Information
Use this command to convert any one of the front-panel ports as the management interface. This port is not part
of the OpenFlow logical switch instance. All the ports are L2 ports by default. If you congure one of the front-
panel ports as the management interface, the port becomes an L3 port. You can congure an L3 IPv4 address only
to the front-panel port that you have specied in this command. Ensure that you have IP connectivity between the
specied port and the controller.
The no form of this command removes this conguration and the front-panel port becomes part of the OpenFlow
logical switch instance.
Example
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# in-band-mgmt interface ethernet 1/1/1
OS10 (config-openflow)# no shutdown
Supported Releases 10.4.1.0 or later
max-backo
Congures the time interval, in seconds, that the logical switch instance waits after requesting a connection with the OpenFlow controller.
Syntax
max-backoff interval
Parameters interval—Enter the amount of time, in seconds, that the logical switch instance waits after it attempts to
establish a connection with the OpenFlow controller, from 1 to 65,535.
Default 8 seconds
Command Mode OPENFLOW SWITCH CONFIGURATION
Usage Information If the interval time lapses, the logical switch instance re-attempts to establish a connection with the OpenFlow
controller.
Example
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# switch of-switch-1
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# max-backoff 25
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)#
