>From the website of Open vSwitch, and our testing, when a physical NIC used by Open vSwitch, the host can not use this NIC anymore.
Most servers only have 2 NIC, they both must to be used as data link when fail-over required or 2 sub-net required scene. Then we have no management NIC available. But bridge-utils allow us use the same NIC for both data link and management link. PS: We use kernel 3.2 and Open vSwitch 1.4.1 for testing. Thanks. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
