Hi Attilo, The files you are playing with belong to the switch implementation and not NOX. My instructions described how to use the controller to define a list of actions that should be performed on a switch when a flow is matched.
If you are actually trying to add new actions (new functionalities) on the switch that are not in the openflow specification, that's a whole different (and much bigger) story - and it's an openflow question. But I'm pretty sure that's not what you want to do. The 2 actions you described in the first message (set vlan, send on a port) are both valid, existing OF actions. You just need to make NOX tell the switch to perform them. So when I said "add actions to the action list", I was referring to the action list that NOX sends to a switch in a flow_mod message instructing it to insert a flow entry and what to do with packets matching it.
