It is important to understand that a "fake bridge" is neither an Open vSwitch bridge nor an OpenFlow switch. Thus, you cannot use them in most contexts where an Open vSwitch bridge or an OpenFlow switch is required. I am surprised that the word "fake" in the name does not make this clear. You can dump the ports on br0 with the command you listed, if you substitute "br0" for "vlan5". _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
