In 3 node cluster, Applied flows in a Follower node and switch is connected to another follower node. The flows are not re-installed when switch is disconnected and reconnected to same follower node .

1. All three nodes (c1, c2 and c3) of clusters are running in VM mode.

2. Following features are installed in the cluster nodes.

feature:install odl-restconf-all
feature:install odl-mdsal-all
feature:install odl-openflowplugin-all

3. Verified all 2550 and 2551 ports are up in all cluster nodes.

root@mininet-vm:~# netstat -na | grep 2550
tcp6 0 0 10.183.181.43:2550 :::* LISTEN

4. via Jconsole found that c1 is leader (opendayligh controller --> config data -> Inventory module -> shard -> attribute) , c2 and c3 are followers.

5. Connected Mininet OF switch to follower c2.

root@mininet-vm:/home/mininet/integration/test/tools/odl-mdsal-clustering-tests/clustering-performance-test# sudo mn –

controller=remote,ip=10.183.181.42 --topo=linear,1 --switch ovsk,protocols=OpenFlow13

6. Sent 10 flows from another follower c3.

root@mininet-vm:/home/mininet/integration/test/tools/odl-mdsal-clustering-tests/clustering-performance-test# ./flow_config_blaster.py --flows 10 --auth –

no-delete

7. Verify 10 Flows are installed in switch.

mininet> sh ovs-ofctl -O Openflow13 dump-flows s1

8. Disconnect the switch and connect the switch back to Follower node c2.

mininet> sh ovs-ofctl -O Openflow13 dump-flows s1
OFPST_FLOW reply (OF1.3) (xid=0x2):

I see no flows.
