OpenFlow ports are interfaces of the overlay SDN that are automatically created at the same time as the SD-WAN interfaces. The controller uses OpenFlow ports to control network traffic. You can create service interfaces and UNIs that are mapped to OpenFlow ports.
OpenFlow ports can be combined into OpenFlow port groups and used when creating P2M and M2M transport services. When you add an OpenFlow port group to a transport service, this automatically creates service interfaces mapped to the OpenFlow ports, and then these service interfaces are added to the transport service. Using groups of OpenFlow ports eliminates the need to manually create service interfaces and add them to transport services.
To display the table of OpenFlow port groups, go to the Infrastructure menu section, click Management → Configuration menu next to the controller, and go to the OpenFlow groups section. Information about groups of OpenFlow ports is displayed in the following columns of the table:
The actions you can perform with the table are described in the Managing solution component tables instructions.
