[ovs-discuss] Scalability Questions in High-Density Virtualisation Environments

Hi Justin, In your reply to scalability question, you answered that we can modify the limit of 2K MAC addresses to any value by changing a #define at openvswitch code.  Can you please let me know the file name where I can modify this limit? Thanks & Regards,Sachin Sharma >     ? What is the sca

Right, I agree. I was just referring to the ability to use its UDP tunneling format to get through devices that don't like GRE. We're also planning to support a mode where VXLAN is a virtual port, like GRE, and traffic that is sent out it will be encapsulated (and decapsulated on receive). --

Having the "switchport mode trunk" does not automatically mean that the switch will carry traffic for that vlan. The vlan needs to be created in the vlan database of the switch. Only then that vlan will be "operational" on the trunk ports. https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/29967 show vlan c

Yeah, I think that's right. Of course, Open vSwitch will be able to support both eventually. But for large deployments, managing the edge MAC tables, as well as tunneling and tagging rules (and any other filtering or QoS policy) will almost certainly require a centralized component. Also, as

Yes, VXLAN tunnel header is a good proposal, but for control plane there is serve limitation: it depend on physical network multicast for MAC learning. In OVS, central ovsdb controlled MAC address propagation is a better choice. On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 9:09 AM, Justin Pettit wrote: > On Sep 7, 201

Hi Jen-Wei, My understanding was that if you want to simply pass all VLANs through the switch, you can make all the relevant ports (in your case, the two connected to the servers) trunk ports. Try putting something like switch trunk port configuration (or the equivalent) into your favorite
