Hello Friends,
Kindly help me in understanding how OpenvSwtich Quantum Plugin gets
MAC address?
I checked the '/ovs_quantum'/ database, none of the tables persist
MAC address. Where as OVS do have this information (Interface table
ofexternal_ids). Please explain me where its gets this information.
As per my understanding, OpenStack Nova creates MAC address for VM and
OVS Quantum plugin talks only with Quantum. So how is it getting MAC
address.
I recommend using the disc...@openvswitch.org for better responses about
this.
Anyways, the Quantum OVS agent running in the Host fetches the MAC
address from the OVS database and send to the Quantum.
Have a look in here (get_vif_ports):
