This feature provides failover support if a controller is unavailable. If the connection
to a controller is lost, installed flows are retained and used for forwarding traffic

failover on individual instances. If you disable failover, all flows to the unavailable
controller are dropped.
flow-map
Specify if flows installed by the controller should be interpreted by the switch for placement in L2 or L3
tables.
Syntax

To disable flow interpretations, use the no flow-map {l2|l3}
enablecommand.
