Using Indigo

To use Indigo, you will need one of the compatible switches and the Indigo firmware. Reflashing the switches to use Indigo may require special hardware, please check out the detailed information for each switch before attempting to use them for OpenFlow. Here are some documents available on using Indigo.

• Up and Running on the 3290 or 3780: For getting started on the Pronto 3290.
• Using the Indigo Web Interface: The web interface on Pronto platforms.
• Serial Ports on Quanta and Pronto: If you need help connecting a serial port.
• Replacing VxWorks on the 3240: If you have a new LB4G/3240, you may need to replace VxWorks. If you see anything other than a u-boot message when you connect to the serial port and boot the system, you need to do this.
• Reflashing a Pronto Switch: If you're working with an LB4G and want to upgrade the firmware.
• Cluster Setup: If you have a cluster of Indigo switches and want to manage configuration centrally.
