Thank you Ben,

If I have many vlans will this same flow work for all vlans in the test bridge 
or do I have to define the flow per vlan

ovs-ofctl add-flow test-br 'priority=1900 in_port=13
dl_dst='ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff' actions='normal''
ovs-ofctl add-flow test-br 'priority=1900 in_port=13 nw_dst='224.0.0.0/24'
actions='normal''
