In a certain scenario, I want to perform write metadata and go to the next
table for a matched flow. However, when I config the flow table, I got the
following errors:
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0
in_port=2,nw_src=192.168.1.1,actions=goto_table:1,write_metadata:18ovs-ofctl:
Instruction write_metadata must be specified before goto_table
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0
in_port=2,nw_src=192.168.1.1,actions=write_metadata:18,goto_table:12012-12-29T00:23:23Z|00001|ofp_actions|WARN|write_metadata
instruction must be specified after other instructions/actionsovs-ofctl:
Incorrect instruction ordering
Notice that, if I replace goto_table:1 to resubmit(,:1), it works.
According to OF spec, goto_table instruction should be the last. However, why
write_metadata has to be after resubmit action, can anyone explain it?
I am using the following OVS version:
