+.SS "OpenFlow Controller Connectivity"
+.
+\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR can perform all configured bridging and switching
+locally, or it can be configured to connect a given bridge to an
+external OpenFlow controller, such as NOX.
+.
+If a \fIbridge\fR argument is given, the settings apply only to the
+specified bridge. Otherwise, they apply to the Open vSwitch instance,
+and its configuration applies to any bridge that has not been explicitly
+configured through a \fIbridge\fR argument.
+.
+.IP "\fBget\-controller\fR [\fIbridge\fR]"
+Prints the configured controller target.
+.
+.IP "\fBdel\-controller\fR [\fIbridge\fR]"
+Deletes the configured controller target.
+.
+.IP "\fBset\-controller\fR [\fIbridge\fR] \fItarget\fR"
+Sets the configured controller target. The \fItarget\fR may use any of
+the following forms:
+.
+.RS
+.TP
+\fBssl:\fIip\fR[\fB:\fIport\fR]
+The specified SSL \fIport\fR (default: 6633) on the host at the given
+\fIip\fR, which must be expressed as an IP address (not a DNS name).
+SSL must be configured when this form is used (see \fBSSL
+Configuration\fR, below).
+.
+.TP
+\fBtcp:\fIip\fR[\fB:\fIport\fR]
+The specified TCP \fIport\fR (default: 6633) on the host at the given
+\fIip\fR, which must be expressed as an IP address (not a DNS name).
+.TP
+\fBunix:\fIfile\fR
+The Unix domain server socket named \fIfile\fR.
+.RE
+.ST "Controller Failure Settings"
+.
+When a controller is configured, it is, ordinarily, responsible for
+setting up all flows on the switch. Thus, if the connection to
+the controller fails, no new network connections can be set up. If
+the connection to the controller stays down long enough, no packets
+can pass through the switch at all.
+.ST
+If the value is \fBstandalone\fR, or if neither of these settings
+is set, \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR will take over
+responsibility for setting up
+flows when no message has been received from the controller for three
+times the inactivity probe interval (xxx needs to be exposed). In this mode,
+\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR causes the datapath to act like an ordinary
+MAC-learning switch. \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR will continue to retry connecting
+to the controller in the background and, when the connection succeeds,
+it discontinues its standalone behavior.
+.ST
+If this option is set to \fBsecure\fR, \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR will not
+set up flows on its own when the controller connection fails.
+.
+.IP "\fBget\-fail\-mode\fR [\fIbridge\fR]"
+Prints the configured failure mode.
+.
+.IP "\fBdel\-fail\-mode\fR [\fIbridge\fR]"
+Deletes the configured failure mode.
+.
+.IP "\fBset\-fail\-mode\fR [\fIbridge\fR] \fBstandalone\fR|\fBsecure\fR"
+Sets the configured failure mode.
