Usage Information In the previous version of SDN, when some packet types, such as untagged ARP broadcasts, received on an OF
port could not be forwarded from a physical port and could only copied to the controller. To resolve this issue,
assign a default VLAN to the OF ports. If you do not assign a VLAN, the software selects one when you create the
first OF instance. The default VLAN applies to all OF instances and can only be configured if you have not
configured any OF instances.
