Support capabilities of the MAC-IP flow table
The controller must include the required match fields and actions and can include the optional match fields and actions in the flow entries deployed to the MAC-IP flow table. If the controller does not include the optional match fields and actions in the flow entries, the switch adds them to the flow entries by default.
The Layer 2 flow entries are implemented by using MAC address tables. Table 3 describes the support capabilities for Layer 2 flow entries.
