[ovs-discuss] OVS and GRE Tunnels

2013-07-27 Thread Cali Ente
Hey all quick question, when creating a tunnel port in OVS using the set interface=gre does this connect to a preexisting tun or does OVS make it's own? For example I have a tun0 device that I want to attach to my OVS port, and it cannot be added (incompatible device), so I thought that I merely ne

2013-07-12 Thread Cali Ente
Does anyone know why OVS removed this method from 1.10.0? I see in the notes that ether_mac_random or something along those lines is supposed to replace it, but there is still a reference to the method in vport-internal_dev.c. I've circumvented the compiler error it throws by adding the method into

Sorry, I've been switching back and forth from 1.9 to 1.10, and now I'm deciding if 1.9's brcompat capabilities are even necessary. Thanks. On Thu, Jun 27, 2013 at 10:31 AM, Ben Pfaff wrote: > On Thu, Jun 27, 2013 at 10:29:13AM -0700, Cali Ente wrote: > > Hey ben t

Hey all, I'm working on porting over openvswitch to a MIPS based platform, and I have run into an interesting issue. I have correctly compiled openvswitch and it's kernel module, and have installed both. I can run all the openvswitch executables and can even run the add-br and add-port commands. Ho

Would the lack of the Linux bridge-utilities package cause these errors? Do you know of any kernel requirements/configurations I should have enabled to make sure OVS will run as expected? On Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 10:32 AM, Ben Pfaff wrote: > On Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 10:25:10AM -0700, Cali E

Hey everybody, just had a quick question regarding the br-compat module that I couldn't seem to find answered. I know in versions =<1.9.0 br-compat is included, but 1.10.0 and on it has been removed. Does this mean that br-compat is no longer needed by openvswitch to function? Thanks, Bob _
