Setting the 'mac' in the Interface record for a bridge's local port has always been ineffective, but the log message was suppressed because of a check at too high of a level. This commit fixes the problem. It also fixes the wording of the log message, which has been obsolete since the introduction of the database.
Finally, it seems better to check for the local port before checking for a multicast address, so this reverses the order of the checks. --- vswitchd/bridge.c | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/vswitchd/bridge.c b/vswitchd/bridge.c index 1e5caf9..b2e55bd 100644 --- a/vswitchd/bridge.c +++ b/vswitchd/bridge.c @@ -439,9 +439,7 @@ set_iface_properties(struct bridge *br OVS_UNUSED, struct iface *iface, /* Set MAC address of internal interfaces other than the local * interface. */ - if (iface->dp_ifidx != ODPP_LOCAL && !strcmp(iface->type, "internal")) { - iface_set_mac(iface); - } + iface_set_mac(iface); return true; } @@ -3217,13 +3215,15 @@ iface_set_mac(struct iface *iface) { uint8_t ea[ETH_ADDR_LEN]; - if (iface->cfg->mac && eth_addr_from_string(iface->cfg->mac, ea)) { - if (eth_addr_is_multicast(ea)) { + if (!strcmp(iface->type, "internal") + && iface->cfg->mac && eth_addr_from_string(iface->cfg->mac, ea)) { + if (iface->dp_ifidx == ODPP_LOCAL) { + VLOG_ERR("interface %s: ignoring mac in Interface record " + "(use Bridge record to set local port's mac)", + iface->name); + } else if (eth_addr_is_multicast(ea)) { VLOG_ERR("interface %s: cannot set MAC to multicast address", iface->name); - } else if (iface->dp_ifidx == ODPP_LOCAL) { - VLOG_ERR("ignoring iface.%s.mac; use bridge.%s.mac instead", - iface->name, iface->name); } else { int error = netdev_set_etheraddr(iface->netdev, ea); if (error) { -- 1.7.1 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
