I'm creating a custom topology with 4 switches and 2 hosts. I want to see the hard_timeout value for the flow entries on the openflow switches. For instance, when I run the command to view the flow entries on switch s1:
sh ovs-ofctl dump-flows s1
I get the following output:
The flow entry only displays the idle_timeout (of 60ms) but not the hard_timeout. How can I observe this parameter?
It is likely that the hard_timeout value is not set or set to zero for the active flows in your network since the flows are also not tracking the hard_age parameter.
In order to observe the hard_timeout you need to set it to a non-zero value
Also, the timers are in seconds, so the idle_timeout is 60 seconds.
