Instruction type

Restrictions

Clear-Actions

The Clear-Actions instruction has the following restrictions:

  • For the single flow table, the flow entries of the table cannot include this instruction and other instructions at the same time.

  • For multiple flow tables of the pipeline, the device does not support including this instruction and other instructions at the same time.

Apply-Actions

The action list of the Apply-Actions instruction cannot include multiple Output actions.

When the action list of the Apply-Actions instruction includes only one Output action, the switch processes the action list as described in "Restrictions for merging the action list into the action set."

Write-Metadata/mask

The flow entries of the last table of the pipeline cannot include this instruction. Otherwise, the switch returns an unsupported flow error.
