 Description   

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start ODL, enable l2switch, openflow, restconf, dlux. Stop ODL
2. Start mininet using command: sudo mn --controller=remote,ip=127.0.0.1 --topo linear,2 --switch ovsk,protocols=OpenFlow13
3. Start ODL
4. Look at the log file using log:display
2014-12-10 14:02:53,878 | INFO | config-pusher | HostTrackerModule | 263 - org.opendaylight.l2switch.hosttracker.impl - 0.1.1.Helium-SR1 | HostTracker (instance org.opendaylight.yang.gen.v1.urn.opendaylight.l2switch.host.tracker.impl.rev140528.HostTrackerModule$1CloseResources@305114a4) initialized.

Note the the log says that the dropall flow on each switch will be installed.

5. Go to mininet and run: sh ovs-ofctl dump-flows s1

There will not be any flows installed. If you start ODL before mininet then the default flows are installed.

Not sure if this is a L2switch bug or if L2switch is trying to install default flow and failing. There are no error messages in the log.

For some weird reason, it only happens if the following features are part of the org.apache.karaf.features.cfg file: odl-adsal-northbound,odl-restconf,odl-openflowplugin-all,odl-mdsal-apidocs,odl-dlux-core
And then the odl-l2switch-all is installed.

If I try to install the features manually, then I cannot reproduce it consistently.

Please let us know if it still doesn't work you.

I could see default flows installed using out of box of l2switch module.
