[ovs-discuss] Network parameter in VM creation

[Vivek Gupta]

Hi I am trying to setup Host to VM communication using https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-open-vswitch-with-dpdk-for-inter-vm-nfv-applications I am facing a difficulty to understand the concept in VM creation. I have created a VM using virt-install as below- virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n VMImage -r 2048 --file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/VMImage.img --file-size=16 --cdrom=/cdrom/ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso --vcpus=2 \ --network network=default --os-type=linux --os-variant=ubuntutrusty --cpu host --prompt and created the OVS bridge as below- $OVS_DIR/utilities/ovs-vsctl --db=unix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock --no-wait add-br ovsbr0 -- set Bridge ovsbr0 datapath_type=netdev I am able to browse the internet from VM machine. For my case of HOST to VM using OVS, do I need to pass ovsbr0 as a network parameter?(--network bridge:ovsbr0) in virt-install? And do I need to provide any static ip to OVS bridge? Please suggest.
