Add OpenFlow Switch

This page lets you add a new OpenFlow Switch.
The switch added here can be referenced when you configure a location.

Note

Although AT-SESC can manage OpenFlow Switches even if they are unregistered, you have to register them in order to specify upstream port individually or authenticate devices by their locations.

Note

When you register an OpenFlow Switch, AT-SESC resets packet control flows existing on the OpenFlow Switch.

Table 4: Sample Configuration Data

Item Name	Description
Switch ID (Mandatory)	Name of the OpenFlow Switch. Switch ID and Name that are already used cannot be set on the OpenFlow Switch List page and the AMF Member List page. Max 255 characters. Those elements are collectively referred to as security policies. Here is a list of elements of security policies: When you click the "Register" button on Active OpenFlow Switch List, the switch's "Hardware Info" is automatically set in this field (can be changed). If it's the same as an existing Switch ID, "_X" (X is a number) is appended to the "Hardware Info" (e.g. AT-TQ4600_1).
Datapath ID (Mandatory)	OpenFlow Switch's Datapath ID (used by OpenFlow controller to identify this switch). There's no need to change this in most cases because it is automatically generated or configured. Auto-generated Datapath ID is a 16 character HEX string which added leading zeros to the switch's MAC address. Datapath ID must be unique.
Upstream Port	Upstream port of the switch. Only one upstream port can be specified for a switch. Port can be specified as either a port name or an OpenFlow port number.
Account Group ID	Select Account Group ID to which OpenFlow Switch belongs.
Note	Arbitrary string (comment) for the switch. Max 255 characters.

Note

If datapath ID is inconsistent between the AT-SESC and the switch, packet forwarding ceases on its OpenFlow ports.

Note

Datapath ID of an OpenFlow Switch cannot be changed from AT-SESC.

Name of the upstream ports may vary depending on the model of the OpenFlow Switches.

Table 5: Valid Upstream Port Names.

Port Name	Description
AlliedWare Plus Devices
portX.Y.Z	X - always "1" Y - Expansion bay number. "0" for a base (non-expansion) port. Z - Port number printed on the product. It is different from OpenFlow port number.
AT-TQ series wireless access point
eth0	Ethernet Port (Wired Interface) OpenFlow Port Number is always "1".

For an AlliedWare plus switch, OpenFlow port numbers can vary depending on the configurations of the switch. They can be confirmed on the OpenFlow Switch Detail page.

Note

When you are using both AlliedWare plus switches and AT-TQ wireless access points as OpenFlow Switches, configure an upstream port for each OpenFlow Switch separately instead of using the "Default Upstream Port" on the System Settings > OpenFlow Settings page.

Update OpenFlow Switch

This page lets you update the information of an existing OpenFlow Switch.

Note

When you update information of an OpenFlow Switch, AT-SESC resets packet control flows existing on the OpenFlow Switch.

Table 7: Configurable fields

Item Name	Description
Switch ID (Mandatory)	Name of the OpenFlow Switch. Switch ID and Name that are already used cannot be set on the OpenFlow Switch List page and the AMF Member List page. Max 255 characters.

There's no need to change this in most cases because it is automatically generated or configured. Auto-generated Datapath ID is a 16 character HEX string which added leading zeros to the switch's MAC address. Datapath ID must be unique.
Upstream Port	Upstream port of the switch. Only one upstream port can be specified for a switch. Port can be specified as either a port name or an OpenFlow port number. If "Default Upstream Port" is configured on the System Settings > OpenFlow Settings page, it is used in case this field is empty.
Account Group ID	Select Account Group ID to which OpenFlow Switch belongs.
Note	Arbitrary string (comment) for the switch. Max 255 characters.

Note

If datapath ID is inconsistent between the AT-SESC and the switch, packet forwarding ceases on its OpenFlow ports.

Name of the upstream ports may vary depending on the model of the OpenFlow Switches.

For AlliedWare plus switch, OpenFlow port numbers can vary depending on the configurations of the switch. They can be confirmed on the OpenFlow Switch Detail page.

Active OpenFlow Switch List

This page shows a list of OpenFlow Switches which have established connections with AT-SESC.
When Account Group is set, only OpenFlow Switches belonging to the Account Group to which the logged-in Account belongs are displayed.
When an OpenFlow Switch whose IP address and Datapath ID are the same with an existing OpenFlow Switch listed on this page, an existing session is closed and a new session is established. If an OpenFlow Switch whose Datapath ID is the same as an existing switch but its IP address is different from the existing switch's, a new session is not established.
