•
L2 Table--Supports L2 header matches and has L2 actions only. This table type can be applied to the
ingress of an L2 interface.
•

IPv4 or IPv6 type. This table type can be applied to the ingress of an L2 interface.
•
L3_V4 Table--Supports L3 IPv4 header matches and has L3 actions only. This table type can be applied
to the ingress of L3 interfaces.
•
L3_DS(Dual Stack) Table--Supports L2 and L3 IPv4 and IPv6 (Dual Stack) matches and has L3 actions
only. This table type can be applied to the ingress of L3 interfaces.
OpenFlow Agent Packet In and Out Feature
The Packet In and Out feature allows a flow to be programmed by the OpenFlow Agent logical switch so that
packets are sent to the Controller. The special output port: OFP_CONTROLLER is specified for the flow
action.
The Packet In and Out feature enables support for the OpenFlow output-to-port action. The output action tells
the OpenFlow Agent to send all packets matching the flow to a specific port.
OpenFlow Agent with NetFlow Collection and Analytics
Applications can be provided with on-demand analytics by using the OpenFlow protocol with NetFlow.
NetFlow provides statistics on packets flowing through the router, and is the standard for acquiring IP
operational data from IP networks.
The following NetFlow maps must be configured:
• Flow Exporter Map—Specifies the destination IP address of the NetFlow collector where the NetFlow
Version 9 packets are sent.
• Flow Monitor Map—Specifies the profile of the NetFlow producer, including the timeout values of
active and inactive timers, size of the NetfFow cache and the exporter to be used.
• Sampler Map—Specifies how often Network Processor (NPU) needs to sample incoming and outgoing
packets and create flow-packets to punt to the Line Card (LC) Central Processing Unit (CPU).
The following parameters must be specified on the OpenFlow Agent logical switch:
•
Interface associated with the OpenFlow Agent logical switch that is enabled for NetFlow.
•
Flow Monitor Map
•
