[ovs-discuss] ovs-ofctl: Unknown action: set_field

[can.]

Thanks, Ben  

Since I already have the version 1.7.1, the only choice is to install a "bleeding edge" version. I'd better wait for the next stable release.

Btw, the man page I read is http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/ovsman.cgi?page=utilities%2Fovs-ofctl.8
