NAME
ovsdb-server - Open vSwitch database server
SYNOPSIS
ovsdb-server database [--remote=remote]... [--run=command]
...
OPTIONS
--remote=remote
Adds remote as a connection method used by ovsdb-server.
remote must take one of the following forms:
pssl:port[:ip]
Listen on the given SSL port for a connection. By
default, ovsdb-server listens for connections to any local IP address, but
specifying ip
limits connections to those from the given ip. The
--private-key, --certificate, and --ca-cert options are mandatory when this
form is used.
* ptcp:port[:ip]*
* Listen on the given TCP port for a connection. By
default, ovsdb-server listens for connections to any local IP address, but
ip may be speci‐*
* fied to listen only for connections to the given ip.*
punix:file
Listen on the Unix domain server socket named file for
a connection.
ssl:ip:port
The specified SSL port on the host at the given ip,
which must be expressed as an IP address (not a DNS name). The
--private-key, --certifi‐
cate, and --ca-cert options are mandatory when this
form is used.
* tcp:ip:port*
* Connect to the given TCP port on ip.*
unix:file
Connect to the Unix domain server socket named file.
db:table,column
Reads additional connection methods from column in all
of the rows in table within the ovsdb-server database. The column must
have type
string or set of strings. The connection
methods in the column must have one of the forms described above. As the
contents of column
changes, ovsdb-server also adds and drops connection
methods accordingly.
It is easy to understand the DBS will listen for connection. For someone who
want to query to connect.
I cannot understand why the DBS needs to connect to somewhere. For what?
