Purge-time for OpenFlow

You can configure the maximum time before stale flows are purged from the OpenFlow flow table after a switch-over, fail-over, or operating system upgrade. The no form of this command sets the purge timer time to its default value.

The valid range is from 1 through 600. The default is 240 seconds.

You may not need to change the value of the OpenFlow purge timer for normal circumstances. If you anticipate delay in learning the flows from controller after switch-over, you can configure a larger value for the OpenFlow purge timer.

The following example shows how to set the OpenFlow purge timer:

device(config)# openflow purge-time 500
device(config)# no openflow purge-time 350

Syntax: openflow purge-time seconds

Syntax: no openflow purge-time seconds
