Allied Telesis 1 YEAR OPENFLOW V1.3 LICENSE - AT-FL-IE34-OF13-1YR

Allied Telesis AT-FL-IE34-OF13-1YR OpenFlow v1.3 1-Year Software License

Overview

The AT-FL-IE34-OF13-1YR is a one-year term license that activates OpenFlow v1.3 functionality on compatible Allied Telesis IE340-series industrial Ethernet switches. OpenFlow v1.3 hands control of the switch's forwarding plane to an external SDN controller — instead of running distributed routing protocols locally, the controller pushes flow entries directly to the switch's flow table. This matters in converged industrial networks where centralized traffic policy enforcement, deterministic path control, and integration with software-defined infrastructure are required. If you're managing an Allied Telesis network where an SDN controller (such as an OpenFlow-compatible NMS or orchestration platform) needs programmatic control over frame forwarding at the edge, this license is the activation key that makes it possible. Without it, OpenFlow remains disabled on the switch regardless of firmware version. The model number AT-FL-IE34-OF13-1YR reflects the one-year subscription term — plan for renewal before expiry to avoid losing SDN control-plane functionality on production segments.

Compatibility

This license is designed for the Allied Telesis IE340 series of industrial managed switches, including the IE340-12GP, IE340-12GT, IE340-20GP, and IE340-20GT variants. It is not transferable to other Allied Telesis switch families (x230, x530, x950, or SwitchBlade lines) — those use separate SKU-specific license keys. Confirm your switch's firmware supports OpenFlow v1.3 before purchasing; earlier firmware trains may require an update before the license activates cleanly. For environments planning long-term SDN deployment, evaluate the multi-year license variants in the IE340 switch software license family to reduce renewal overhead. Pairing with an OpenFlow-capable SDN controller that supports the v1.3 specification — including group tables, multiple flow tables, and meter entries — is required to get full value from the feature set this license unlocks.
