Yes.  If it doesn't work, that is a bug.

> 2. Currently it is allowed to reconfigure the dst_port option of on OpenFlow tunnel port. It is possible to set unique dst_port for a VXLAN tunnel, e.g. the default 6081 UDP port of Geneve tunnels, and vice versa. Is it OK, to reconfigure ports like this?

Yes.  If it doesn't work, that is a bug.

The following entries will be seen in case of originally 1-1 VXLAN/Geneve port existing, and the VXLAN is reconfigured with dst_port=6081 option. There will be no vxlan_sys_6081 (2) member in tnl_port_in structure.

Sounds like a bug.
