Can you please cc the list when sending messages? That way it can potentially help other people. You only need to specify local_ip if you are trying to distinguish two tunnels that are otherwise the same. Not specifying it will cause all packets to be accepted by a particular tunnel. > > When I add a common interface into bridge I can see a msg from nox like > |DBG:received port status event from 00ff002799f2 > But when I add a GREtap to bridge nothing can be seen. > When you say GREtap do you mean Linux GRE devices? Those are not supported. When you use OVS GRE the type is simply "gre". > i want to know that does vswitchd deamon monitor the gre tunnel traffic > from a physical interface since you mentioned that it is no longer necessary > to load OVS GRE module. > It doesn't directly pull GRE traffic off the physical interface - OVS still registers a protocol handler with the Linux IP stack for GRE. The reason why you no longer need to load a separate module is that GRE has been directly integrated into the main openvswitch_mod. > Would you please give more details about OVS's GRE? > If you are still having problems please post the exact commands you are using and the output.
