Hello, Yesterday I encountered "bridge module is loaded, not loading brcompat" error (http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/discuss/2012-November/008446.html), and I solved it by not setting a "bridge_port eth0" in /etc/network/interfaces. Here's the file now:
---- auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 0.0.0.0 auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp ## bridge_port eth0 ## removed this auto virbr0 iface virbr0 inet dhcp ---- and this is `ovs-vsctl show`: ---- Bridge "virbr0" Port "virbr0" Interface "virbr0" type: internal Port vethfFrrKy Interface vethfFrrKy Bridge "br0" Port "eth0" Interface "eth0" Port "br0" Interface "br0" type: internal ovs_version: "1.7.1" ---- It seems working well, only that the "network device configuration" time at startup is very long. I guess this is related to virbr0, the default libvirt virtual bridge, which doesn't get the configuration. Also you might notice that eth0 is connected to br0, and these two configurations as shown are not conform.(So first question, is there a cleaner way to configure ovs? I tried the instructions in openvswitch-switch.README.Debian, but didn't work. btw I'm using ubuntu 12.04) And since virbr0 doesn't get enough configuration, it's isolated from the Internet. So how to make both br0 and virbr0 connect to the Internet? I think I can connect virbr0 to br0 but don't know how. And to be more generally, can I create arbitrary topologies inside ubuntu using ovs? -- Best regards, Can Zhang _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
