Sorry I overlooked your response.
When I use dump-flows with " -O OpenFlow13", I see as expected.

# ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow13  dump-flows br0
OFPST_FLOW reply (OF1.3) (xid=0x2):
 cookie=0x0, duration=1647.125s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0,
dl_dst=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff actions=goto_table:1

Thanks. You can consider this query as closed.

Regards,
Nirmal
