Did you read the documentation?

       ofport: optional integer
              OpenFlow  port number for this interface. Open vSwitch sets this
              column’s value, so other clients should treat it as read-only.

              The OpenFlow ``local’’ port (OFPP_LOCAL) is  65,534.  The  other
              valid  port  numbers  are  in  the range 1 to 65,279, inclusive.
              Value -1 indicates an error adding the interface.
