Setting the ONA to SDN Controller Mode
The SDN Controller Mode (Operational Mode 0) enables the ONA to
use the Fabric Attach feature, which is used to establish control plane
communication between the ONA and the SDN Controller. In this
mode, the ONA must be connected to an Avaya SDN controller, which
controls and manages the ONA.
The SDN Controller Mode provides additional capabilities to the ONA
such as the ability to upgrade software.
The ONA ships in SDN Controller Mode. If you are not in this mode
and you want to be, use one of the following methods:
Use the Manual Configuration menu to configure the "SDN
Controller IP Address or Name" and set the "Operational Mode"
to 0.
Depress the reset button for at least five seconds to reset the
ONA back to the factory default settings. This method clears all
the parameters in persistent memory (including the controller's
IP address) and sets the Operational Mode to 0. Because the
"SDN Controller IP Address or Name" is not configured when the
ONA boots up, it uses a DNS query to get the SDN Controller's IP
address and initiates a connection to the controller.
Setting the ONA to Fabric Extend Mode
Fabric Extend Mode (Operational Mode 1) enables the ONA to use
the Fabric Extend feature. After you select this mode, the ONA re-
boots and stays in this mode unless you depress the reset button for
at least five seconds to enter SDN Controller Mode.
