[ovs-discuss] Groups support in ofctl

Hi,

We are trying the master from GIT with the below version.

root at b38862:/# ovs-ofctl -V
ovs-ofctl (Open vSwitch) 1.12.90
Compiled Aug 21 2013 18:51:38
OpenFlow versions 0x1:0x4


It is observed that the ovs-ofctl command is not having options for 'groups' add/delete/modify etc.

When I gone through the code, it is observed that the below structure is defined in openflow-1.1.h file.

/* Group types. Values in the range [128, 255] are reserved for experimental
 * use. */
enum ofp11_group_type {
    OFPGT11_ALL,      /* All (multicast/broadcast) group. */
    OFPGT11_SELECT,   /* Select group. */
    OFPGT11_INDIRECT, /* Indirect group. */
    OFPGT11_FF        /* Fast failover group. */
};

Is it like we have to set protocol version to 'OpenFlow11', to enable this?

Any information on this will be appreciated.

Regards,
Balaji.P

You need master.
