Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow supports only a subset of OpenFlow 1.3 functions. For more information, see the Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow Feature Support section.
You cannot configure more than one Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow logical switch. The logical switch ID has a value of 1.
OpenFlow hybrid model (ships-in-the-night) is supported. VLANs configured for Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow logical switch ports should not overlap with regular device interfaces.
Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow logical switch ports must not be configured in a mode other than trunk port.
You cannot configure a bridge domain, Virtual LANs, virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) or port-channel interfaces on a Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow logical switch. You can only configure physical interfaces.
You cannot make additional configurations to an interface configured as a port of Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow Logical Switch without removing the configuration as a port of Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow Logical Switch.
High availability is not supported. On switchover, all flows are deleted resulting in traffic loss. When the standby RP becomes active, the flows are relearned from the controller and reprogrammed. Until then, traffic loss is experienced.
Cisco IOS In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) is not supported for Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow.
MIBs and XMLs are not supported.
You must not add or remove an interface as a port of a Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow if the Cisco Plug-in for OpenFlow is inactive or not running.
Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch supports 1000 L2 flows with EtherType, 200 L2 flows without EtherType, and 500 L3 flows.
Cisco Catalyst 3650 switch supports 500 L2 flows with EtherType, 100 L2 flows without EtherType type, and 250 L3 flows.
A maximum of 48 ports can be assigned for Openflow operation.
In general, the maximum sustained flow programming rate from the controller should not exceed 50 (added or deleted) flows per second. For flows that have more than 1 match criteria (more than input port + 1 match), the sustained controller programming rate should not exceed 40 flows per second.
The maximum burst flow programming rate from the controller should not exceed 1000 flows, spaced by 30-second time intervals. A minimum of 30-second time interval should be maintained between addition or deletion of flows.
The rate of PACKET_IN messages sent to the controller should be rate-limited to 300 packets per second, using configuration.
