A bridge and a switch are the same thing. I don't understand the
distinction that you are attempting to match.
There are various ways to make 2 bridges communicate, but it's usually
better to just use a single bridge.

Hmmm.. ok.. but a bridge in openvswitch can be assigned an ip address right,
unlike a switch? Also, is there a way to get 2 bridges on the same machine
to communicate to each other?
Thanks,

Hi ben,
Thanks for your input. I was confused because as you said, the man page
suggests all the connection methods, but when i use for eg:
ofctl show br0, it is connecting to a bridge right? A single openvswitch can
also have more then one bridge, so in that case, if I want to connect to the

Please read the ovs-ofctl manpage. It explains all the allowed forms
at the very top.
Of course a Unix socket doesn't work on another machine. Add a
"ptcp:" controller to access OpenFlow over TCP from another machine.

Hi Ben,
That is correct. Right now, I am doing it from the same machine running
vswitchd. The ofctl doc says the argument should be show *switch*
and the methos of connection seemed to me like I need to give the switch
argument as unix:... or tcp: . Is my understanding wrong? (is it
different
It sounds like you want to use ovs-ofctl from the same machine running
ovs-vswitchd. There's already a unix socket for that. Just give the
name of the bridge, e.g. "ovs-ofctl show br0".

Hi Ben,
Passive tcp socket should be fine. I know the ptcp option lets you do this.
But I am not sure which command to use it with. For eg: I use the unix
socket option with ovsdb-server command so that vswitchd can connect to teh
database server. Now, ofctl needs to connect to the switch. So, whi

Do you want to
Hi,
The ovs-ofctl uses either a unix socket or tcp port to connect to the open
flow switch. When I start the openvswitch process, which command do i use to
set the switch in the listen mode so that ofctl can connect to it?
Thanks,
