[ovs-discuss] in-band and out-of-band

2014-12-11 Thread Yang Yannan
hi,guys I am confused about the in-band control and out-of-band control I noticed that in the FAQ: “By default, Open vSwitch assumes that OpenFlow controllers are connected "in-band", that is, that the controllers are actually part of the network that is being controlled.”

Thanks Scott. Yes, our experience has been in regards to using active-tlb and active-slb across multiple switches with M-LAG on the switches and LACP. On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 12:14 PM, Scott Lowe wrote: > Vinay, some switches have support for multi-chassis link aggregation > (often called MLAG)

Yes, I already read it :-) Policy routing won't help in this case, number of routing tables can grow to 256 routing tables, i describe test environment and in real life server may provide service to a much larger number of networks... over 1000. thanks, appreciate your help raymundo On Thu, Dec

Vinay, some switches have support for multi-chassis link aggregation (often called MLAG). For MLAG-capable switches, you should be able to use any LACP-based bonding mechanism across multiple **correctly configured** switches. However, in the absence of MLAG support, LACP-based bonding types can
