Hi Jesse, By one instance of OVS, do you mean I should only create one bridge, or one instance of vswitchd? Right now, I am creating only one instance of vswitchd on the host, but 2 bridges, one on the host for the containers to communicate to the.host and the other inside the container so that

Hi Jesse, So I did the following: 1. Started openvswitch on the host. 2. Created a bridge and interface to attach the container to, and started the containers. The containers are able to communicate with the host using ovs. 3. Now, I am starting vms within the container. So, before this I am creat

Hi Jesse, Thanks. I am using brctl bridging to start up the containers and have the containers communicate with the host machine. Due to the bridge module being loaded, I am not able to load the openvswitch module. Can openvswitch be used for container-to-container communication as well, so that I

Hi Jesse, Just thought of one more thing before I proceed. If openvswitch only runs on the root namespace, how will vms within another namespace on the same host communicate with each other? Is this still possible? I forgot to mention this earlier, but I need communication between vms within one c

Hi Jesse, Could you elaborate a little on that? I did not exactly get that. The vms within different containers can have the same ip addresses. For eg, lets say container 1 C1 has vm 1. Container 2 C2 also has vm 2. Now,I have another host with 2 containers as well, C3 AND C4, both of which have a

Benoit, I presume that the physical interface in question is connected to a physical switch with dot1q tagging in operation on the physical port? If so, is it a Cisco switch by chance? And if yes, is the port configured to use vlan2 as the native vlan? We had a similar issue with the bridge in
