Hello,
I'm trying to use the userspace-only implementation of Open vSwitch (with
dpif-netdev datapath). I followed the installation instructions provided, but
when I start the daemon I get the following error:
|00001|dpif_linux|ERR|Generic Netlink family 'ovs_datapath' does not exist. The
Open vSwitch kernel module is probably not loaded.
The daemon then starts, I can add bridges with ovs-vsctl, but I fail to operate
on them with ovs-dpctl, getting the same error (even with a simple command like
"ovs-dpctl show"). I know that ovs-dpctl is supposed to work with kernel
datapath, but looking inside it I've noticed that it operates with dpif
functions, that can be implemented by either dpif-linux and dpif-netdev.
In case ovs-dpctl is intended to operate only with kernel datapath, is there a
tool to do the same with the userspace-only implementation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Federico Di Domenicantonio
