Well, that I expect. What is surprising is that setting it explicitly with the "ip" command doesn't "stick". I don't understand the difference between using 'ip link set' and 'ovs-vsctl set bridge', since they both seem to update the 'mac_in_use' field for the bridge. I've raised a bug against Fedora, since I think the network scripts should Do the Right Thing for OVS devices, but I also wonder if this is infact the desired behavior for this devices -- why not permit standard tools like "ip" or "ifconfig" to persistently modify the bridge? Anyway, I'm just happy that it's working. Cheers, -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <l...@redhat.com> | larsks @ irc Cloud Engineering / OpenStack | " " @ twitter
