Hi, Justin, adding an entry with action ‘normal’ works. I should learn the 
OpenFlow switch specification carefully. Thanks for your reply.

physical host that run it?

By default, there's usually an entry that matches all packets with the action 
"normal". With that configuration, I would expect you to be able to ping the 
host unless there's some other configuration error. Did you modify that default 
rule?

Hi, all,
  In a Linux bridge case, if I assigned ip address(say 10.0.1.1) to the Linux 
bridge, then I can ping this ip address from another host successfully, as the 
physical host that run Linux bridge could handle the ICMP request. However, I 
cannot get the same result in a ovs bridge case. I assigned ip 
address(10.0.1.1) to the Open vSwitch bridge(openflow-controlled) in host A, 
but when I ping this ip address, the logs showed that ovs bridge did not know 
how to handle the ICMP request packets, because there is no flow-entry matched. 
I don’t know what flow-entry should send, setting a output action will just 
send the packets out of the host A. What should I do to make the ovs bridge 
pass the ICMP packets to the host A? Thank you.


Best Regards,
Kun Liu
