Would your per-VLAN flows have the same actions as the single flows you showed below? If so, the there is no benefit to per-VLAN flows. On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 05:35:52PM -0500, Faisal Ali wrote: > Sorry for being unclear. The broadcast flow defined below was > originally applied to the bridge it

Sorry for being unclear. The broadcast flow defined below was originally applied to the bridge itself. Now I am adding vlans to the bridge, so my confusion is whether I have to define (adding vlan tag) this flow per vlan or will this flow definition suffice for all the vlans in the test bridge

I don't know what you're trying to accomplish but "normal" understands and honors VLANs. On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 02:15:29PM -0500, Faisal Ali wrote: > Thank you Ben, > > If I have many vlans will this same flow work for all vlans in the test > bridge or do I have to define the flow per vlan > >

Thank you Ben, If I have many vlans will this same flow work for all vlans in the test bridge or do I have to define the flow per vlan ovs-ofctl add-flow test-br 'priority=1900 in_port=13 dl_dst='ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff' actions='normal'' ovs-ofctl add-flow test-br 'priority=1900 in_port=13 nw_dst='22

Hello, I setup a GRE tunnel (connected to switchport 4) and put a noflood option to prevent broadcast storms as below ovs-ofctl mod-port test-br 4 noflood But I need the broadcasts from VMs to be forwarded over the GRE tunnel so I put the following command ovs-ofctl add-flow test-br 'priority=1
