Re: [ovs-discuss] Open vSwitch balance-slb bond mode with two upstream switches

Andy and Ben, thanks for your response. The feedback is very helpful. The configuration I desire is with two upstream switches that are directly connected to each other. Andy, based on the INTERNALS document, I assume that OVS accepts traffic on the inactive slaves, so the concern about the old

Assume two switches are connected to OVS SLB bond with two slave ports. In case the two non-OVS switch are not directly connected. The hosts behind one of the switches can not reach hosts behind OVS via multicast or broadcast, since only one of the bond slave port will be considered active slave.

[ovs-discuss] Open vSwitch balance-slb bond mode with two upstream switches

2015-08-21 Thread Jason Burns
I hope this is the right forum to ask this question. If not - feel free to direct me elsewhere. Can the balance-slb bond mode in Open vSwitch be used for a bond connected to two separate upstream switches? When I read the documentation [1] it states that only active-backup can be used to conne
