Hi, I'm trying to get openvswitch to work on a Google cloud VM but I keep failing on the step where I add the eth0 interface to the switch. I tried several times with different configurations.
I'm a little suspicious that it might have to do with Google's own SDN implementation, specifically this part from their docs: ## MAC lookup table, IP lookup table, active connection table These tables are hosted on the underlying network and cannot be inspected or configured. Source: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/networking#networkingdetails I don't know if they might simply not allow any other MAC addresses on the network. I tried to spoof the MAC of eth0 on br0 using a script but it don't seem to work either. When I manually try to spoof the MAC it looks good until I bring up br0, then the MAC I set disappears. I attach a script of one of my attempts, but I have tried various combinations. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with openvswitch-switch_2.5.0-1. Anyone who has any ideas on this? Should openvswitch work on GCE or am I trying to do something that is simply not possible? If not, is there a workaround where I could use iptables to force traffic to and from eth0 and a switch port to emulate that it's attached while keeping the ip and mac on eth0? -- Regards, Robert Åkerblom-Andersson
