Limitations
• OFPAT_OUTPUT to OFPP_FLOOD and OFPP_ALL are supported on the S4810 only. These commands are
not currently supported on Z9000.
• Multiple output ports are supported on S4810 only. Multiple output ports are not currently supported on Z9000.
• The set/modify actions must precede the “output ports” actions. This means that the switch cannot transmit
different copies if you specify multiple output ports.
