Hello everybody, I have a question related to openvswitch and it's functionality as an openflow switch. I am currently setting up the switch as follows:
insmod openvswitch/datapath/linux-2.6/openvswitch_mod.ko insmod openvswitch/datapath/linux-2.6/brcompat_mod.ko #Start ovsdb server. The configuration is the default created through ovsdb-create sudo ovsdb-server openvswitch/ovsdb.conf #initialize db and create bridge sudo ovs-vsctl init sudo ovs-vsctl add-br br0 ifconfig br0 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0 sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth1 sudo ovs-vsctl set-controller br0 tcp:127.0.0.1:6633 #I am using nox as a controller I also have a device attached on eth1 which has ip 10.1.1.2/24. As long as the switch doesn't have an openflow controller setted up, I am able to connect to the computer hosting the switch (e.g. pinging and sshing 10.1.1.1 works). After I setup the controller ip, the host becomes unreachable. The problem in the beginning was that the switch didn't reply to arp request, but even if I manually insert the mac address of br0, the host remained unreachable. Is there a way in a setup like the one mentioned to be able to push packets up the network stack to the system hosting the switch? -- Charalampos Rotsos PhD student The University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory William Gates Building JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0FD Phone: +44-(0) 1223 767032 Email: cr...@cl.cam.ac.uk _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_openvswitch.org
