Yes, because when you removed the openvswitch module, the bridge devices is deleted. When you load the openvswitch module again, the module has no knowledge of the devices to be created. It works like vxlan/vlan/veth/ or any other software device driver. > After "ifup" command, the bridge is visible in the result of > "ifconfig" command, but still connectivity through bridge is not > achieved.

'ifup' will try to bring the device back, but since it probably still exists in your DB, the script may assume that the device is there and do a partial initialization. > how can I fix this problem? You have to stop the services before replacing the module. I.e. stop network and/or openvswitch, then replace the module, then start network and/or openvswitch. fbl _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
