Based on your diagram, I'd think you'd want to run OVS inside VM2. This would be configured as you described with those ovs-vsctl commands. However, this seems like a fairly non-standard setup. Usually, the networking is managed in the hypervisor, so VM1 and VM3 would just be wired up to OVS

I am new to openvswitch and openflow. I setup the following scenario on a single physical machine: VM1(veth1.0) --- (veth2.0) VM2 (veth2.1) - (veth3.0) VM3 VM1 and VM3 are two end-hosts. VM3 is to emulate an Ethernet switch. VM2 should be controlled by ovs-vswitchd (possibly with t

Hi all, I am writting to this list, because I notice a strange behaviour with the ovs-vswitch distributed with the ubuntu/debian distribution. My confusion/problem(?) lies on the way the ovs-vswitchd handles arptraffic. I initialize my switch as follows: ovsdb-server /etc/openvswitch/conf.db --
