I used the floodlight as the openflow controller in openstack. in the compute node ,I use the command "set-controller IP:port" to set the floodlight address as the ovs bridge br-int‘s controller. but when I typed the command,I found the OVS flow tables were flushed,the flow rules were deleted . So when I created a VM,the VM could not get the DHCP IP address,my Openstack is Grizzly vlan mode,I found the DHCP reply from network node could not recived by VM.
 Does you have the same problem? Does floodlight can be used in OPENSTACk as the openvswitch‘s controller? I used the floodlight to get the virtual network topology.

before I set the controller ,the OVS flow table is like this:
[root@node8 ~]# ovs-ofctl dump-flows br-int
NXST_FLOW reply (xid=0x4):
 cookie=0x0, duration=52.074s, table=0, n_packets=11, n_bytes=1430, idle_age=15, priority=3,in_port=29,dl_vlan=1000 actions=mod_vlan_vid:8,NORMAL
 cookie=0x0, duration=307.365s, table=0, n_packets=8123, n_bytes=728475, idle_age=0, priority=0 actions=NORMAL

[root@node8 ~]# ovs-vsctl show

        Port "br-eth1"
            Interface "br-eth1"

but after I set the controller,the flow tables is like this:

[root@node8 ~]# ovs-ofctl dump-flows br-int
