Does Openflow override Ra guard?

As I know Ra guard is like DHCP snooping, but base on the document Openflow override DHCP snooping but Openflow seems like it does not override Ga guard.

So, does Openflow override Ra guard?

Hi Ayman,

In the 16.03 firmware, a command was added:

openflow instance <INST-NAME> override-protocol <protocol>

If you enter 'all' for the protocol, then does RA Guard get overridden? It is hard to tell from your question whether you were basing it on documentation or actual switch behavior in your network. It would help us to get that clarification.
