-   Because of missing features, OpenFlow 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 must be

+   1.2, and 1.3 must be enabled manually in ovs-vswitchd.  Either way,

-       ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 protocols=OpenFlow10,OpenFlow11,OpenFlow12,OpenFlow13
+       - To enable OpenFlow 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 on bridge br0:

 
 

-   Use the -O option to enable support for later versions of OpenFlow
-   in ovs-ofctl.  For example:
+         ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 protocols=OpenFlow10,OpenFlow11,OpenFlow12,OpenFlow13
+
+       - To enable only OpenFlow 1.0 on bridge br0:
+
+         ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 protocols=OpenFlow10
+
+   All current versions of ovs-ofctl enable only OpenFlow 1.0 by
+   default.  Use the -O option to enable support for later versions of

        ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow13 dump-flows br0
