Comment 2 for bug 1471201

interface xe-0/0/0.2001 is present in OVSDB client but stuck in ADD Defer due to same issue of physical port being empty.

}

however for interface xe-0/0/2.2001 is missing from OVSDB introspect since there is no association of this logical interface to corresponding VMI, physical port or physical device
