[ovs-discuss] ifup-ovs not configuring bridge devices at boot

2014-05-24 Thread Lars Kellogg-Stedman
asonable? The only consequence of this is that $OTHERSCRIPT will be called every time one runs "ifup ". Also, just to be explicit, this is only a problem with "standalone" bridges -- bridge devices that don't have any ports configured through ifcfg-... scripts. Cheers, -- Lar

will be set in ifup-eth using the "ip link set" command. While this appears to work, any operation that updates the OVS configuration will cause the MAC address to revert. Persistent MAC addresses must be set using ovs-vsctl. Signed-off-by: Lars Kellogg-Stedman --- rhel/etc_sysconf

[ovs-discuss] [PATCH] support persistent mac addresses on OVS bridges on RHEL

2014-05-23 Thread Lars Kellogg-Stedman
This patch adds support for setting the persistent MAC address (on RHEL-derived systems) of an OVS bridge via the MACADDR setting in the interface configuration file. Without this change, when an administrator provides MACADDR in the interface configuration file that address will be set in ifup-et

ora, since I think the network scripts should Do the Right Thing for OVS devices, but I also wonder if this is infact the desired behavior for this devices -- why not permit standard tools like "ip" or "ifconfig" to persistently modify the bridge? Anyway, I'm just

*is* a link between the two bridges, I don't want the MAC address changing like that. What is causing the MAC address to change? How can I get it to stick? Thanks, -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman | larsks @ irc Cloud Engineering / OpenStack
