I am testing latest ovs code on debian, using the following /etc/network/interfaces
------------------- allow-vmbr0 eth1 iface eth1 inet manual ovs_type OVSPort ovs_bridge vmbr0 auto vmbr0 allow-ovs vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.2.8 netmask 255.255.240.0 gateway 192.168.2.1 ovs_type OVSBridge ovs_ports eth1 ------------------ That works, but it does not work when I boot the host. Simply because ovs-vswitchd is started much too late in runlevel 2. So what is the reasoning behind that? I also tested with modified values in /etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch using something like: # X-Start-Before: networking # X-Stop-After: networking # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: 0 6 That solves the problem, but does that have some bad side effects? (For example syslog is not active at that time.) _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
