Hi, After compilation of OVS, you can run the following commands (Commands are taken from *INSTALL.Linux* as described by Ben Pfaf). Go to ovsdb directory first. In OVS1.1.2, you can found it in openvswitch/utilities. * * *a) create configuration database* *% mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/openvswitch* *% ./ovsdb-tool create /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db ../vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema* *b) start configuration database of OVS* *% ./ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db --remote=punix:/ovs/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,manager_options --pidfile --detach* *% cd ../utilities/* *% ./ovs-vsctl --no-wait init* *c) start OVS demon* *% cd ../vswitchd/* *% ./ovs-vswitchd unix:/ovs/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock* *d) setup bridges and other OVS features* * % ovs-vsctl add-br br0 % ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0 % ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth1 d) connect to controller * After that you can connect to controller by using following command *% ./ovs-vsctl set-controller br0 tcp:10.3.70.116:6633*
