Comware 5900 works with OpenFlow Controller in Hardwar for IPv4 Layer 2

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I setup yesterday a Comware 5900 with the sdn 2.0 controller from HP and it worked perfectly fine for Layer 2 IPv4 flows. As advertised IPv6 neighbour discovery does not work. The flows are installed in hardware and give me wire speed without CPU consumption 0. Now I'm looking for controller that is capable of doing routing in IPv4 and IPv6. Load between two switches is not balanced as mentioned in the technical white paper for the controller. But the failover is less than one second if I pull the active cable.

Minimal config is:

vlan 4092

openflow instance 1
 mac-learning forbidden
 classification vlan 4092
 controller 1 address ip 192.168.0.1
 active instance
interface Vlan-interface1
 ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/43
 port link-mode bridge
 port access vlan 4092
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/44
 port link-mode bridge
 port access vlan 4092
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/45
 port link-mode bridge
 port access vlan 4092
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/46
 port link-mode bridge
 port access vlan 4092
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/47
 port link-mode bridge
 port access vlan 4092
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/48
 port link-mode bridge
 port access vlan 4092

 Ping between two nodes across two switches is below 0.3 ms. This is antoher indicator that it is working in hardware.

Cheers,
