OpenFlow Monitor

The SDN controller UI includes several screens providing information on OpenFlow enabled
switches:
"OpenFlow Monitor" (page 58)
"OpenFlow topology " (page 61)
"OpenFlow Trace log" (page 69)
"OpenFlow Classes " (page 75)
When the controller is active in an OpenFlow domain, the OpenFlow Monitor enables tracking
of switch traffic summaries, packet traffic per port, and applied flow rules for switches detected
in the controller domain.
For a graphical view of Data Path ID assignments to individual OpenFlow switches, see
topology .

device or the loss of a device that has been disconnected.
