Hi All,

I am using OVS 1.2.2 and when i give command
ovs-ofctl  add-flow "dl_src=55:34:23:35:23:54 actions=mod_tp_src:-1"
 It is not giving any error and the entry is add
with dl_src=55:34:23:35:23:54 actions=mod_tp_src:65535 means switch itself
modifies "-1" into 65535
(and same is the case when i try to modify nw_tos field it ranges the
values b/w 0-255)


But when I do the same in case of vlan means when i try to add entry as:
ovs-ofctl add-flows "dl_src=55:34:23:35:23:54 actions=mod_dl_vlan_vid:-1"
or

ovs-ofctl add-flows "dl_src=55:34:23:35:23:54 actions=mod_dl_vlan_vid:4097"

it gives me error OFPFC_BAD_ACTION error




Why switch is behaving differently for these cases why it is not giving bad
action error for first two cases(mod_tp_src and mod_nw_tos).

Regards,
Sonny
