N2000 Series Incorrect Openflow Cookie in packets_in

Hi every one!

Does anyone have issues with the cookies in the "packet_in" packets working with DELL N2000 series switches. I have seen that they are not sent correctly:

SCENARIO:

I have  a DELL N2048P with OS 6.5.3.4, and I have configured a flow with cookie 0x0F1FFF1FFFFFF (Dec:266081579040767) and OUTPUT to CONTROLLER (which by the way is a RYU Controller)

I am able to see the flow configured in the switch (show openflow switch flows), however this command doesn't show the cookie. But I am able to see the cookie if I ask for the flows through the ryu rest:

DELL_N2048P#show openflow switch flows

Flow: 4674 Type: 1DOT3
Flow table: 60 Priority: 1800
Ingress port: Gi1/0/3
Actions:
Redirect: CONTROLLER
Status:
Duration (secs): 342 Idle: 0 In HW yes





root@linux:~# curl -X GET --cert --key --cacert https:// :8443/stats/switches

{"actions": ["OUTPUT:CONTROLLER"], "idle_timeout": 0, "cookie": 266081579040767, "packet_count": 135, "hard_timeout": 0, "byte_count": 10971, "duration_sec": 498, "duration_nsec": 970000000, "priority": 1800, "length": 88, "flags": 0, "table_id": 0, "match": {"in_port": 3}}

ISSUE:

The "packet_in" packets generated by this flow carry the COOKIE FIELD filled by 0, instead sending the correct cookie.

Hi,

Can you private message me the service tag? Did you follow this guide for configuring openflow? http://downloads.dell.com/solutions/networking-solution-resources/Dell%20Networking%20N-Series%20OpenFlow%20SDN.pdf

Hi Josh, I didn't follow the guide you sent because I don't want the switch to be pure-openflow. I need to use hybrid-openflow solution because I need to configure 802.1X in the access ports. So I wrote a very simple configuration using this guide: https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_networking/esuprt_net_fxd_prt_swtchs/networking-n2000-series_user%27s-guide10_en-us.pdf Could it be a bug in the packet_in construction?
