Hi Henry,
please file a bug and attach your fix proposal. I guess the same should be done for metadata value field in order to prevent the range check violation.

If you want to speed up the fix process feel free to commit the fix.

Thank you.
Regards,
Michal

Sir,

Please check in the following fix in openflowplugin / src / main / java / org / opendaylight / openflowplugin / openflow / md / core / sal / convertor / OFToMDSalFlowConvertor.java

<<<

121
writeMetadataBuilder.setMetadataMask(new BigInteger(writeMetadataCase.getWriteMetadata().getMetadataMask()));
>>>
121
writeMetadataBuilder.setMetadataMask(new BigInteger(1, writeMetadataCase.getWriteMetadata().getMetadataMask()));

Your help is appreciated.

I encountered an exception when using metadatamask 0xffffffffffffffff. It is interpreted as -1, causing the exception.
