+Q: My bridge disconnects from my controller on add-port/del-port.
+
+A: Reconfiguring your bridge can change your bridge's datapath-id because
+   Open vSwitch generates datapath-id from the MAC address of one of its ports.
+   In that case, Open vSwitch disconnects from controllers because there's
+   no graceful way to notify controllers about the change of datapath-id.
+
+   To avoid the behaviour, you can configure datapath-id manually.
+
+      ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 other-config:datapath-id=0123456789abcdef
