I am getting connection error when I try to use ovs-ofctl to control a
remote ovs. I am running v1.7.0.
I have my ovs bridge 'lan0' created on a host 192.168.43.148, and I can
do 'ovs-ofctl show lan0' on the host locally without problem. To try
this remotely, I've restarted my ovsdb-server on that host with
"--remote=ptcp:6633" added to its options.
From a remote machine, now ovs-vsctl works:
%% ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:192.168.43.148:6633 show
a1d19b92-c343-4297-b0ab-072761a6b687
Bridge "lan0"
Controller "tcp:192.168.43.148"
fail_mode: secure
Port "lan0"
Interface "lan0"
type: internal
Port "lan0p1"
Interface "lan0p1"
Port "lan0p0"
Interface "lan0p0"
But from the same remote machine, ovs-ofctl does not work:
%% ovs-ofctl show tcp:192.168.43.148
ovs-ofctl: connecting to tcp:192.168.43.148 (Connection reset by peer)
%% ovs-ofctl show tcp:192.168.43.148:6633
ovs-ofctl: connecting to tcp:192.168.43.148:6633 (Connection reset by peer)
I also tried the syntax suggested in this thread, it prompted a usage error:
%% ovs-ofctl tcp:192.168.43.148 show lan0
ovs-ofctl: unknown command 'tcp:192.168.43.148'; use --help for help
What I did wrong here?

I want to know if i can use ovs-ofctl to manage the remote ovs which in
another host?
For example:
ovs-ofctl tcp:192.168.1.2 add-flow br0 action=normal
Yes.
