My bad, that was obviously suppose to include the MAC in question. So one more time, in an attempt to set a static MAC table entry:
Table entry: 13 744 so:me:ma:cc Flow: ovs-ofctl add-flow mybridge dl_dst=so:me:ma:cc,actions=output:13 I guess what I'm asking is, what should a static flow that says "MAC so:me:ma:cc lives on port 13" look like? Again, goal is to have a static table entry like behavior accomplished with this flow.
