That should work without any special effort. I wonder whether your ovs-ofctl is looking for the software in the same directory where ovs-vswitchd created it. If, for example, you had some version of ovs-ofctl in your $PATH that was compiled with a rundir different from the running ovs-vswitchd, then that would explain the problem. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
