Configuring OpenFlow

OpenFlow is an open standardized interface that allows a software-defined networking (SDN) controller to manage the forwarding plane of a network. Cisco OpenFlow Agent provides better control over networks making them more open, programmable, and application-aware and supports the following specifications defined by the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) standards organization:

OpenFlow Switch Specification Version 1.0.1 (Wire Protocol 0x01) (referred to as OpenFlow 1.0)
OpenFlow Switch Specification Version 1.3.0 (Wire Protocol 0x04), referred to as OpenFlow 1.3 These specifications are based on the concept of an Ethernet switch, with an internal flow table and standardized interface to allow traffic flows on a device to be added or removed. OpenFlow 1.3 defines the communication channel between Cisco OpenFlow Agent and controllers. A controller can be Cisco Open SDN Controller, or any controller compliant with OpenFlow 1.3. In an OpenFlow network, Cisco OpenFlow Agent exists on the device and controllers exist on a server that is external to the device. Flow management and any network management are either part of a controller or accomplished through a controller. Flow management includes the addition, modification, or removal of flows, and the handling of OpenFlow error messages.

For more information, see the Cisco OpenFlow Agent for Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series Switches:
