Abstract
A software-defined network controller (SDN controller) defines a first network flow to be selectively implemented by a networking device according to a first network operation profile. The SDN controller defines a second network flow to be selectively implemented by the networking device according to a second network operation profile. A memory device of the networking device may store at least first and second network operation profiles for selective implementation based on network packet characteristic matching and/or a 'trigger alarm' event. The first network operation profile is implemented when an incoming network packet matches a pre-defined and/or customizable network packet characteristic match template. The second network operation profile is implemented when a 'trigger alarm' event is received. A network operation profile may execute a write action to latch, or otherwise trigger, a physical alarm of a networking device or associated device.
