Hi, Could I drop hardware Layer 2 switching entirely, and route traffic directly from the hypervisor/ospf ?
I'm trying to eliminate STP, utilize multiple links, avoid downtime during upgrade of switch-stack etc I was wondering if the following would be possible: Uplink Uplink | | | | Router1 ---- Router2 | \ / | | \ / | | \/ | | /\ | | / \ | | / \ | Server1 ---- Server2 | | | | | | | | OVS OVS | | | | VM VM Routers and Servers run OSPF - the only layer 2 traffic is inside openvswitch <-> VM But does OVS depend on layer2 hardware interfaces to function? I don't see how OVS would handle the two interfaces without layer2 access for bonding, so this is probably a long shot ? :-) Regards Kristoffer _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
