Thanks, Justin. It works without any controller and also works with ovs-controller. I guess it's a NOX issue. Do I have to do anything special with NOX? I'm just using the same NOX that works with openflow reference implementation 0.8.9. I tried compiling NOX again by giving openvswitch to --with-openflow option, but didn't work because some header files mismatch.
One more thing - I noticed that I have to bring up interfaces for the switch manually, e.g., "ifconfig eth1 up". I wanted to verify if this is the case, since I don't do it when I run openflow reference implementation. - Steve On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 6:06 PM, Justin Pettit <jpet...@nicira.com> wrote: > On Nov 13, 2009, at 3:15 PM, Steven Y.
