# Which packages to install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install `openvswitch` if you need OpenFlow virtual switch function. It
|
|
|
|
|
contains ovs-vswitchd, ovsdb-server and helper utilities such as ovs-vsctl,
|
|
|
|
|
ovs-ofctl, ovs-ctl etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux kernel datapath module openvswitch.ko will also be installed along with
|
|
|
|
|
package `openvswitch`. Tunnel encap support for gre, geneve, vxlan can be
|
|
|
|
|
included by installing `kmod-openvswitch-{gre,geneve,vxlan}` respectively
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For OVN deployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Install `openvswitch-ovn-north` for ovs-northd, ovsdb-server, ovn helper utitlies
|
|
|
|
|
- Install `openvswitch-ovn-host` for ovn-controller and `openvswitch`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# How to use them
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open vSwitch provides a few very useful helper script in
|
|
|
|
|
`/usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/`. A simple initscript is provided. It's
|
|
|
|
|
mainly a wrapper around `ovs-ctl` and `ovn-ctl` with simple knobs from
|
|
|
|
|
`/etc/config/openvswitch`. Procd is not used here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch start
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch stop
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch stop north
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch restart ovs
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use `ovs-ctl` and `ovn-ctl` directly for more functionalities

# Open vSwitch in-tree Linux datapath modules
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Open vSwitch build system uses regexp and conditional-compilation
|
|
|
|
|
heuristics to support building the shipped kernel module source code against a
|
|
|
|
|
wide range of kernels, as of openvswitch-2.10, the list is supposed to include
|
|
|
|
|
vanilla linux 3.10 to 4.15, plus a few distro kernels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It may NOT work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Sometimes the code does not compile
|
|
|
|
|
- Sometimes the code compiles but insmod will fail
|
|
|
|
|
- Sometimes modules are loaded okay but actually does not function right
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For these reasons, the in-tree datapath modules are NOT visible/enabled by
|
|
|
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building and using in-tree datapath modules requires some level of devel
|
|
|
|
|
abilities to proceed. You are expected to configure build options and build
|
|
|
|
|
the code on your own
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
E.g. pair openvswitch userspace with in-tree datapath module
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DEVEL=y
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_PACKAGE_openvswitch=y
|
|
|
|
|
# CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-openvswitch is not set
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-openvswitch-intree=y
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
E.g. replace in-tree datapath module with upstream version
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opkg remove --force-depends kmod-openvswitch-intree
|
|
|
|
|
opkg install kmod-openvswitch
|
|
|
|
|
ovs-ctl force-reload-kmod
|
