Data Center Technology Commands 1169User GuidelinesThis command configures the switch to accept a connection request from acontroller. When passive mode is enabled, the switch accepts TCPconnections to ports 6632 and 6633 respectively using any switch IP address.In this mode, the switch continues to attempt to initiate connections toconfigured controllers.The OpenFlow component always initiates the SSL connections and does notaccept SSL connections.OpenFlow operates on the stack master only. Flows may not be configured onstack members. Failover to the stack standby unit is not supported.OpenFlow should only be enabled on stand-alone switches and should not beenabled on stacks of switches.
