Hello, I am looking for an option wherein i can get the OVS Bridge to forward LLDP packets. There are sent with Nearest Bridge (0180 c200 000e) or Nearest Customer Bridge Multicast (0180 c200 0000) address. I am aware that native Linux Bridge consumes such packets. Is it the same default behavior for OVS?
I am running this in Ubuntu 12.04 and OVS is 1.10.90. I have a OVS bridge names OVS-test and it has a physical interface and a tap interface as its ports. I tried the following, and both of these didn't work: a) I installed the following flow: sudo ovs-ofctl add-flow OVS-test dl_dst=01:80:c2:00:00:0e/ff:00:00:00:00:00,actions=all This doesn't seem to work. I mean Mcast packets sent/received on physical or tap port doesn't get forwarded to the other port via the OVS bridge. The dp-flow seem to be empty: $ sudo ovs-dpctl dump-flows $ b) I came across this function "ofproto_set_forward_bpdu" and also the below earlier post: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/git/2011-August/001692.html Setting this using "ovs-vsctl set bridge OVS-test other-config:forward-bpdu=true" also didn't solve my problem. BTW, does the MAC address in function "eth_addr_is_reserved" look right? Shouldn't they be 0180…. instead of 0108? Any tips/suggestions on how to get this to work? Anything i am doing wrong in above? Thanks, KP
