Yes, they can be centrally managed through OpenFlow (http://openflowswitch.org). In order to do this coordination, you need a central controller such as NOX (http://noxrepo.org). However, NOX is intended to be a platform on which to develop distributed data-plane applications, and as such, the apps it ships with are fairly limited.
