Hello, I'm running OVS version 2.1.2 on RHEL 6.5. When I try to add a flow with the goto_table keyword, it fails with the below message: # ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=0,dl_dst=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, actions=goto_table:1" ovs-ofctl: none of the usable flow formats (OXM,OpenFlow11) is among the allowed flow formats (OpenFlow10,NXM) #
I have configured OVS for OpenFlow 1.3 Based on the info I found on the web, GOTO_TABLE support was added in 2012/2013 time frame. Alternatively, When I send a FLOW_MOD(OFv1.3) message from my controller(based on OF 1.3) to OVS, I see it properly decoded in the "ovs-ofctl snoop br0" output. But goto_table instruction gets translated into a DROP. Basically, it is treating goto_table instructions as a NOOP [Logs below] I'm facing the same issue with OVS 2.0.0 as well as OVS 2.1.2. Is this a known issue?
