Flow Table Entries
The implementation of OpenFlow supports three modes of operation when enabling OpenFlow on a port: Layer 2 mode, Layer 3 mode, and Layer23 mode. Layer 2 mode supports OpenFlow matching rules based on the Layer 2 fields shown in Overview of OpenFlow v1.0.0, while Layer 3 mode supports the OpenFlow matching rules based on the Layer 3 fields. Layer23 mode supports the OpenFlow matching rules based on the Layer 2 and Layer 3 fields.
The RUCKUS ICX 7150, ICX 7650, ICX 7850, and ICX 8200 devices support enabling ports in Layer 2, Layer 3, or Layer23 mode.
The OpenFlow match rules in the following table are supported on RUCKUS ICX devices for flow table entries.
