Provided are a method, device and system for switching switch modes, which relate to the technical field of communications. When a switch is switched from a traditional switching mode to an OpenFlow switching mode, routing and switching information in a hardware forwarding table entry under the traditional switching mode is represented by an OpenFlow flow table. The method provided in the embodiments of the present invention comprises: a switch receiving a mode switching request message which is sent by a controller and requests the switch to be switched from a traditional switching mode to an OpenFlow switching mode; the switch freezing all routing and switching information tables under the traditional switching mode of the switch, and generating an OpenFlow flow table corresponding to the routing and switching information table according to routing and switching information in the routing and switching information table; and switching the switch to the OpenFlow switching mode, and sending a mode switching response message to the controller. |
