[CONTROLLER-105] Adding a flow using the Forwarding Rule Manager and the New OF1.3 Plugin causes an NPE

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 08:22:57 +0000

To reproduce,

1. Run the controller distribution from the openflowplugin project
2. Populate topology with mininet
3. Add flow using the following format,

PUT http://localhost:8080/controller/nb/v2/flowprogrammer/default/node/MD_SAL/openflow:1/staticFlow/flow1

Headers:
Content-Type: application/xml
Accept: application/json

Body:

<flowConfig>
<installInHw>true</installInHw>
<name>flow1</name>
<node>
<id>openflow:1</id>
<type>MD_SAL</type>
</node>
<ingressPort>openflow:1:3</ingressPort>
<priority>500</priority>
<etherType>0x800</etherType>
<nwSrc>9.9.1.1</nwSrc>
<actions>OUTPUT=openflow:1:3</actions>
</flowConfig>
