The OF controller can use port and VLAN values other than ‟ANY” for VPLS SAP match and for VPLS steering to SAP for H-OFS instances with the switch-defined-cookie command enabled.
To specify a port in an OF message, SR OS TmnxPortId encoding must be used. The allowed values are those for Ethernet physical ports and LAG.
To encode VLAN tags, OXM_OF_VLAN_ID and new experimenter OFL_OUT_VLAN_ID fields are used as shown in Table: VLAN tag encoding.
| NULL tag, dot1Q tag, inner QinQ tag VlanId | Outer QinQ tag VlanId |
OXM_OF_VLAN_VID |
OFL_OUT_VLAN_ID (Experimenter field uses same encoding as OXM_OF_VLAN_VID) |
Table: Translation of OF Programmed Values to SR OS SAPs shows how OF programmed values are translated to SR OS SAPs.
| OXM_OF_IN_PORT | OXM_OF_VLAN_VID | OFL_OUT_VLAN_ID | Matching SAP SR OS Encoding | Supported in flow_add | Supported in flow_mod flow_del mp_req | Comment |
