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

# 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
