Hey Russell,
With your add type/option change and Ben's tunnel-key work in, it is time
to rebase my ovn-controller-vtep series~~
So, now, I think I'd like to adopt your earlier suggestion, which requires
users
to specify this when creating logical port (for vtep switch):
Logical_Port
name: <anything>
type: vtep
options:
vtep_physical_switch: <...>
vtep_logical_switch: <...>
And the vtep_logical_switch column in ovn-sb Chassis table now becomes a
list of vtep logical switch names (the physical switch attached to).
"vtep_logical_switches" : {"type": {"key": "string",
"min": 0,
"max": "unlimited"}}},
To make sure, we should also expose similar interface in CMS to allow users
specify the logical port type and options right?
Thanks,
Alex Wang,
