Each OpenFlow flow table entry contains the list of actions to be performed when
a packet matches the flow entry. These actions are defined by the OpenFlow Controller.
Packets that do not match any flow entry are dropped by default. The
RUCKUS ICX implementation of OpenFlow supports an option to send such packets to the OpenFlow
Controller. Refer to
Configuring the Default Action.
RUCKUS ICX devices support the actions listed in the following table.
