Aggregation mode

In Aggregation mode, all VLANs in the switch are part of an OpenFlow instance. The exception is the management VLAN and a VLAN that communicates to the controller. Similar to a lab environment the OpenFlow controller manages all the switching and routing for the switch.

NOTE:

When Aggregation is configured, only OpenFlow traffic passes through the switch. Aggregation mode and virtualization mode are mutually exclusive (that is, virtualization mode cannot be configured when aggregation mode is configured and conversely).
