MAC Forwarding Table
The MAC Forwarding table matches on DA MAC, SA MAC, VLAN, and
Input Port. Dell EMC Networking OpenFlow Hybrid checks the 'wildcards'
field in the ofp_match structure and returns an error if any of the bits other
than OFPFW_IN_PORT, OFPFW_DL_VLAN, OFPFW_DL_SRC, or
OFPFW_DL_DST are set to 0. 0xFFFF, a special VLAN designator
indicating that entry should match untagged traffic, cannot be used as a
match criteria for VLAN ID field dl_vlan.
