Configure table number for a flow table

This command is used to configure a table number for a flow table. If the table number is not configured, a default value is given to the table. Table number configuration is supported only on standard-match pipeline-model.

If user does not configure table number for a given table, that table retains its default value.

If any table uses table number as 0, the default table 0 is not configured in the pipeline. In standard match pipeline-model, user can configure either policy table or the first software table as table 0. When the software table is configured as table 0, the OpenFlow pipeline has no H/W table at all.
