Hi guys, I'm trying to setup L2 network using OpenVSwitch. There are 3 hosts with openvswitch running on them, each host is connected to the internet and has some local network behind it, the goal is to unite all those local networks on L2 level.
I've set up vxlan tunnels between 3 openvswitch hosts, but it seems like fully meshed topology (connecting 1-2, 2-3 and 1-3) leads to network loop, and everything stops working. If I only connect say 1-2 and 2-3, so that topology is tree-like, everything works, but packets from 1 to 3 travel long way through 2, which is not what I need - they all are connected to the same Internet and such long path makes no sense. Is there a way to setup openvswitch to support fully meshed topology? What I need is that each host in L2 network could reach any other host in that network via the fastest possible path. For example, it would be fine if openvswitch would deny packet forwading between two vxlan ports, so that packets can only travel between two directly connected openvswitch hosts. Can this be set up somehow? Thank you!
