There are multiple ways that you can set up in-band control, and I believe support varies depending on the specific type of switch you're using, so you will probably get a better response by asking the specific switch vendor.
(By the way, your message was posted to the list like five or six times. I am guessing this is because you kept getting strange responses because you not only sent to nox-dev, but to nox-dev-request. Please send messages to the list only to nox-dev.) -- Murphy On Feb 28, 2012, at 5:55 PM, chenyangseamoon wrote: > Hi, > I'd like to configure an OpenFlow network in in-band mode.
