external-id's column is a critical column for plugin to work properly. User should not modify this columns. OVSDB plugin assume that if the device is managed through plugin no other entity (external user, other entity) is managing the same device. External-id is used by plugin to uniquely identify the device, so if user delete this iid, plugin won't be able to find out the respective device in operational data store and that can have domino effect on other functionalities. |
