I am having some trouble in adding flow table entries with
openvswitch. I am using nox with some modifications on it and when I
submit flow mod message the switches appear to accept the packet
(all the methods to add the flow entry return 0), but when I use
ovs-dpctl dump-flows br0 it has no flows installed.
ovs-dpctl doesn't display OpenFlow flows. You can't use it this way.
ovs-ofctl displays OpenFlow flows. Use "ovs-ofctl dump-flows" to show
the flow table.
In the dpctl help one finds
/dump-flows DP display flows in DP/
Using this command with off-the shelf Nox it displays all flows.
Is the program named dpctl or ovs-dpctl? If it's dpctl then you're
not using Open vSwitch but something else.
ovs-dpctl sorry
OK, then what you're saying doesn't make sense and you will have to
provide an example.
switch2:/hosthome/OF/openvswitch/build/bin# ./ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0
ovs-ofctl: br0 is not a bridge or a socket
OK, so what's in the rundir (typically /var/run/openvswitch)?
switch2:/hosthome/OF/openvswitch/build/bin# cd /var/run/openvswitch/
switch2:/var/run/openvswitch# ls
br0.mgmt db.sock ovsdb-server.pid ovs-vswitchd.pid
br0.snoop ovsdb-server.495.ctl ovs-vswitchd.517.ctl
This looks OK.
I think you must just have misinstalled somehow. No one else is
reporting this problem. Did you consider installing from distribution
packaging rather than by hand?
Thank you again for your advices. I realized that the OVS_RUNDIR
environment variable was empty. The internal ovs_rundir() c function
in ovs-ofctl returned another location so it could not find the
socket.
That explains the problem.
Do you know how that happened? I don't think anything in OVS
recommends setting this variable; definitely you should not set it to
the empty string.
Hi Ben,
We have installed openvswitch in netkit(a user-mode linux front-end
let's say) after cross-compiling it for UML. During the startup of
the virtual machines we use a script to install openvswitch using
the commands reported in section 7 of INSTALL.Linux. The various
environment variables are exported in the script but as it turns out
they are not permanent after booting. After chroot-ing in the file
system of the virtual machines I have added the export of this
variables values in .bashrc.
Is the script something that might be useful to others? If so, please
consider posting it. If it's general-purpose enough, then perhaps it
might be useful to include it in the Open vSwitch repository.
Thanks,
Ben.
Hi Ben,
I think it(btw it is a makefile with different targets such as boot,
start, stop ...) could be useful for those who are using openvswitch on
netkit. If generalized only a little it can be used even for other
environments. So could you point me where to exactly put it?
Btw we have also written a guide about installing openvswitch in DD-WRT.
We have reported the guide here:
http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/UoR_:_Openflow_Kernel_space_on_DD-WRT
If you think it's the case that this should be added even in some
openvswitch wiki or repository let us know and we will add it.
Regards,
Andi
