Thanks for your answers!

Setting fail-mode to secure worked great...Anyway it was just to understand...Since now I'll set up OVS with default options (standalone)...

Answering to Ozaki...I just use two nics on my OVS (eth1 and eth2) + eth3 for management, and one nic per host attached..

Does anyone of you know what's the classifier table? What's the difference between that particular table and the others?

Thankyou,

LP

Luca,

Do you use 2 NIC per Host ? Are they NIC team ?

Maybe use bond ?

ovs-vsctl add-bond br0 bond0 eth1 eth2

I attached two hosts on ETH1 and ETH2 and, also without using a controller acting as a L2 MAC-learning switch, they can ping one each other.

How can this be possible? I thought a switch needed the controller to work properly as L2 MAC-switch ...
So, trying to understand what was wrong, I typed
- ovs-ofctl dump-tables br0
-ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0

On your dump-flows you should have something like:
cookie=0x0, duration=586260.781s, table=0, n_packets=20102186, n_bytes=91142249326, priority=0 actions=NORMAL

As the default, action NORMAL do the L2/L3 processing. So no need for a controller.

I think the L2 mac-learning using a controller is just an example of what you can do with a controller.


OVS alone should work in most of the cases.
