Configuring the flow manager

About the flow manager

The flow manager allows the device to direct bidirectional packets of the same flow to the same security engine when multiple security engines exist on the device. For more information about security engines, see context configuration in Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide.

Querying OpenFlow entries

Each service module can call the flow manager to query OpenFlow entries and transparently transmit traffic among security engines. A service module needs to call the flow manager to query OpenFlow entries in the following situations:

·     Different services of the same flow need to be processed by different security engines.

·     OpenFlow entries cannot be queried through interfaces cards, and bidirectional packets of the same flow cannot be directed to the same security engine. In this case, an interface card can sends the traffic to a security engine. The flow manager queries OpenFlow entries on the security engine and transparently transmit the traffic to the target security engine.

Enabling the flow manager for Layer 2 forwarding

About this task

An interface card cannot obtain packet information of the packets with two VLAN tags, and therefore cannot send the packets to the correct security engine.

This feature can query OpenFlow entries for such packets and transparently transmit them to the correct security engine.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enable the flow manager for Layer 2 forwarding.

By default, the flow manager is disabled for Layer 2 forwarding.
