OpenvSwitch
From Sb
OpenvSwitch main page: http://openvswitch.org
Start OpenVSwitch and connect to a NOX controller:
Firstly, verify that the openvswitch kernel module is loaded and the bridge kernel module is not:
- lsmod
If it is not loaded then use this command:
- insmod ./datapath/linux-2.6/openvswitch_mod.ko
If the bride is loaded:
- rmmod bridge, then load the openvswitch module
Then:
- ./utilities/ovs-dpctl add-dp <switch_name>
- ./utilities/ovs-dpctl add-if <switch_name> <interface0> <interface1> (Interfaces what you want to assign to the switch)
- ./utilities/ovs-openflowd --datapath-id=<16 hexadecimal digits and may not be all-zero> <switch_name> tcp:<nox_controller_ip_addr>
