Allied Telesis 1 YEAR OPENFLOW V1.3 LICENSE FOR AT-X930 SERIES SWITCHES - AT-FL-X930-OF13-1YR

Allied Telesis AT-FL-X930-OF13-1YR OpenFlow 1.3 Feature License

Overview

The AT-FL-X930-OF13-1YR is a one-year software license that enables OpenFlow v1.3 on the Allied Telesis AT-X930 series of stackable Layer 3 switches. OpenFlow is the foundational protocol for software-defined networking (SDN) — it decouples the control plane from the data plane so a centralized SDN controller can program forwarding decisions across the fabric rather than configuring each switch individually. For organizations deploying SDN overlays, network virtualization, or controller-driven traffic steering, this license is the activation key that unlocks the capability on qualifying hardware. Without it, the AT-X930 switch operates in standard mode with no OpenFlow forwarding table support.

Compatibility

This license applies exclusively to the Allied Telesis AT-X930 series, which includes fixed-configuration and modular stackable switches in the X930 family. Confirm your specific AT-X930 model number against Allied Telesis's feature license matrix before ordering — not all chassis configurations or firmware revisions expose identical OpenFlow feature sets. The license is not transferable to AT-X510, AT-X550, AT-X930L, or other Allied Telesis network switch families. Pairing this license with a validated OpenFlow 1.3-compatible SDN controller (such as those conforming to the Open Networking Foundation's OF 1.3 specification) is required for full SDN operation — the license activates the switch-side capability only.

Installation Notes

Activation is software-based: apply the license key through the AT-X930's AlliedWare Plus CLI or GUI license manager. Ensure the switch is running a firmware version that supports OpenFlow v1.3 prior to activation — consult the Allied Telesis release notes for minimum firmware requirements. This is a one-year subscription; track the expiration date to avoid control-plane disruption in production SDN environments. Renew before expiry to maintain uninterrupted OpenFlow forwarding. No physical installation is required.
