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.
