It is probably a mistake to run the ovs database server (osvdb-server) remotely. It is not a recommended configuration. ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd should run on the same device. > To simplify the small devices they have no unique configuration, all > communication is done over IPv6 linklocal addresses. > > After trying to set both active and passive tcp connection between > the devices, I looked into the source code (openvswitch 1.9.0) and > came to the conclusion that IPv6 is not supported to connect the > switch with the database/controller. > > Is this true? If yes, is it a design choice? IPv6 is not currently supported, but it is not a design choice, it is only a missing feature. We would gladly accept patches to add support for IPv6.
