RoleState

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<RoleState>
- - org.onosproject.openflow.controller.RoleState

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<RoleState>
```
public enum RoleState
extends java.lang.Enum<RoleState>
```
The role of the controller as it pertains to a particular switch. Note that this definition of the role enum is different from the OF1.3 definition. It is maintained here to be backward compatible to earlier versions of the controller code. This enum is translated to the OF1.3 enum, before role messages are sent to the switch. See sendRoleRequestMessage method in OFSwitchImpl
