There's no direct way to modify the MAC-learning table. I don't know a reason why the flow that you've showed us would cause such big problems. The command does omit the MAC address, but that would only cause an error from ovs-ofctl, so I guess that the actual command included the MAC. Maybe you should show us more of your flow table. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
