Hi,
We are evaluating OVS 1.2.2 and would like to report an unexpected behavior
of OVS.
* Bug Description
Switch is not notifying the controller for OFPBRC_BAD_VERSION, /*
ofp_header.version not supported. */ when there is version mismatch between
feature request and feature reply. The switch was resetting the connection and
only a warning message was generated on switch in log (/var/log/messages)
before resetting connection.
* What you did that make the problem appear?
1. Made the following bridge:
ovs-vsctl show
e999897a-932f-4a57-81ce-252adc12cce9
Bridge "br0"
fail_mode: secure
Port "br0"
Interface "br0"
type: internal
Port "em1"
Interface "em1"
Port "vnet0"
Interface "vnet0"
2. Issue can be generated by NOX as controller:-
3. Change ofp-version variable in send_features_request routine to 2 in
openflow.c file in NOX
4. Make connection between switch and NOX
* What you expected to happen?
Error packet with code " OFPBRC_BAD_VERSION " should generate by switch
to controller.
* What actually happened.
No error packet is generating and connection resets by switch after stats
request packet from controller.
* The Open vSwitch version number (as output by "ovs-vswitchd --version")
ovs-vswitchd (Open vSwitch) 1.2.2
Compiled May 21 2012 11:23:22
OpenFlow versions 0x1:0x1
* The Git commit number (as output by "git rev-parse HEAD"),
if you built from a Git snapshot.
Not from git.
* Any local patches or changes you have applied (if any).
No patches are applied.
* The kernel version on which Open vSwitch is running (from
/proc/version) and the distribution and version number of
your OS (e.g. "Centos 5.0").
Linux version 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64
(mockbu...@x86-04.phx2.fedoraproject.org<mailto:mockbu...@x86-04.phx2.fedoraproject.org>)
(gcc version 4.6.0 20110428 (Red Hat 4.6.0-6) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Mon May 9
20:45:15 UTC 2011
OVS OS- Fedora 15
NOX OS - Ubuntu 10.0.4
* The output of "ovs-dpctl show".
system@br0:
lookups: frags:0, hit:30, missed:6, lost:0
port 0: br0 (internal)
port 1: em1
* A fix or workaround, if you have one.
When Incorrect version is set in ofp-header in a feature request packet from
controller, the switch resets the connection and no error packet is sent to
controller, only warning message is generated on switch.
If we add a condition in vconn.c file to prevent the reset of connection on
receiving incorrect version in feature request packet and in ofproto.c file to
first check whether version in feature request packet is same as that of
version supported by switch ,if versions are different we return error packet
to controller. This gives us the desired output.
* Any other information that you think might be relevant.
We have verified this on OVS-1.4.1, same is happening on this release also.
