MAC-IP tables with HP 5900 & HP VAN controller

[3wizard]

After configuring the flow table ID below.

[5900-of-inst-1]flow-table mac-ip 100 extensibility 200

and then I tried to add flow entiry in 5900's flow table 100, proactively.

FLOWJSON

{"version" : "1.3.0","flow":{"table_id": 100,"priority" : 29998,"idle_timeout":120,"match":[{"eth_type": "ipv4"},{"eth_dst":"00:1e:37:8a:0f:a4"},{"vlan_vid": "4092"}, {"ipv4_dst": "192.168.0.19"}],"instructions":[{"write_actions":[{"output":24}]}]}}

I need to have a flow table with an ID of 100 to increase the size of flow entry with HP 5900.

Please help me know how to use multiple tables in pipeline processing.

Hi 3wizard,

From your post I am having difficulty understanding the question you are asking. Are you saying that the flow you posted is rejected by the 5900, rejected by the SDN controller, or that it's accepted and not being hit in the hardware table?

If the flow is being rejected by the 5900 or not being hit in the hardware table, then you'd probably need to consult the Comware documentation for the 5900 release you're using. If the flow is being rejected by the controller, you would need to look into the system log and post any exceptions that are being thrown.

In general, if table 100 is not the default table then you'll need a 'goto' instruction in the default table that tells it to look into table 100 to find your rule. By default the SDN controller puts a 'goto next table' rule at the end of each table, and a 'steal to controller' rule in the last table.

Hi Expert,

It was ambiguous about my question. I want to know how to use  the syntax of 'flow-table mac-ip 100 extensibility 200
' because the controller couldn't push flow tables with a table ID of 100 reactively and proactively. Now i'm looking for the best way to add flow entries into table 100.

Best Regards,

Hi 3wizard,

For the syntax of the "flow-table mac-ip 100 extensibility 200" command, you'll probably need to consult the Comware documentation or maybe someone else can chime in. I'm not as experienced with that command, so I can't assist any further.
