Configuring OpenFlow

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) was developed to meet the growing requirements of virtualization

technologies and data networks. SDN uses software to separate controlling functions from data

forwarding, and provides simple, flexible device operations and high extensibility.

OpenFlow is the communication interface between a controller and network devices to implement SDN.

With OpenFlow, you can perform centralized data forwarding management for physical and virtual

devices.

Overview

OpenFlow separates the data forwarding and routing decision functions. It keeps the flow-based

forwarding function and employs a separate controller to make routing decisions. A switch

communicates with the controller through a secure channel.

Figure 1 OpenFlow network diagram

Basic concepts

OpenFlow switch

OpenFlow switches include the following types:

•OpenFlow-only—Supports only OpenFlow operation.

•OpenFlow-hybrid—Supports both OpenFlow operation and traditional Ethernet switching

operation. Switches of this series are OpenFlow-hybrid switches.

OpenFlow port

IMPORTANT:

Loopback interfaces cannot be used as OpenFlow ports.

OpenFlow supports the following types of ports:

•Physical port—Corresponds to a hardware interface of a switch, such as an Ethernet interface. A

physical port can be either an ingress port or an output port.

•Logical port—Does not correspond to a hardware interface of a switch and might be defined by

non-OpenFlow methods, such as an aggregate interface. A logical port can be either an ingress

port or an output port.

•Reserved port—Defined by OpenFlow to specify forwarding actions. A reserved port can only be

an output port. Reserved ports include the following types:

{All—All OpenFlow ports that can be used to forward a packet.

{Controller—OpenFlow controller.

{Local—Local CPU.

{In port—Packet ingress port. This type is available in Release 2311P05 and later versions.

{Normal—Normal forwarding process.

{Flood—Flooding.

OpenFlow flow table

An OpenFlow switch matches packets against one or more user-defined flow tables. A flow table

contains flow entries, and packets are matched based on the matching precedence of flow entries.

OpenFlow flow tables include the following types:

•MAC-IP—Combines the MAC address table and FIB table.

A MAC-IP flow table provides the following match fields:

{Destination MAC address.

{VLAN.

{Destination IP address.

A MAC-IP flow table provides the following actions:

{Modifying the destination MAC address.

{Modifying the source MAC address.

{Modifying the VLAN.

{Specifying the output port.

•Extensibility—Provides more match fields and actions than a MAC-IP flow table, such as destination

MAC address, destination IP address, VLAN priority, TCP source port, and TCP destination port.

Flow entry

Figure 2 Components of a flow entry

A flow entry contains the following fields:

•Match fields—Matching rules of the flow entry. These contain the ingress port, packet headers, and

metadata specified by the previous table.

•Priority—Matching precedence of the flow entry. A packet is matched against the table and only

the highest priority flow entry that matches the packet is selected.

•Counters—Counts of the packets that match the flow entry.

•Instructions—To modify the action set or pipeline processing. These include the following types:

{Meter—Directs the packets to the specified meter to limit the rate of the packets.

{Apply-Actions—Applies the specified actions in the action list immediately.

{Clear-Actions—Clears all the actions in the action set immediately.

{Write-Actions—Modifies all the actions in the action set immediately.

{Goto-Table—Indicates the next flow table in the processing line.

Actions are executed in one of the following ways:

{Action Set—When the instruction set of a flow entry does not contain a Goto-Table instruction,

pipeline processing stops and the actions in the action set are executed. An action set contains

a maximum of one action of each type.

{Action List—The actions in the action list are executed immediately in the order specified by the

action list. The effect of those actions is cumulative.

•Timeouts—Maximum amount of idle time or hard time for the flow entry.

{idle Time—The flow entry is removed when it has matched no packets during the idle time.

{hard Time—The flow entry is removed when the hard time timeout is exceeded, regardless of

whether or not it has matched packets.

•Cookie—Flow entry identifier specified by the controller.

Table-miss flow entry

Every flow table must support a table-miss flow entry to process table misses. The table-miss flow entry

specifies how to process packets unmatched by other flow entries in the flow table. The table-miss flow

entry wildcards all match fields (all fields omitted) and has the lowest priority 0. The table-miss flow entry

behaves in most ways like any other flow entry.

OpenFlow pipeline

The OpenFlow pipeline processing defines how packets interact with flow tables contained by a switch.

The flow tables of an OpenFlow switch are sequentially numbered, starting at 0. The packet is first

matched against flow entries of first flow table: flow table 0. A flow entry can only direct a packet to a

flow table number which is greater than its own flow table number.

When a packet matches a flow entry, the OpenFlow switch updates the action set for the packet and

passes the packet to the next flow table. In the last flow table, the OpenFlow switch executes all actions

to modify packet contents and specify the output port for packet forwarding. If the instruction set of one

of the flow tables contains an action list, the OpenFlow switch executes the actions to modify a copy of

the packet immediately in this table.
