You can use the "--db=tcp:" or "--db=ssl:" option with ovs-vsctl. You'll need to configure OVS to listen for the connection, which you can do with with the "set-manager ptcp:" or "set-manager pssl:" commands in ovs-vsctl. Note that this is the opposite of how connections are usually established for the management protocol; normally the switch connects to the controller. However, without a controller that speaks OVSDB, that could be more challenging.
I've not used Floodlight, so I don't know what its scripting abilities are. I believe there is a Floodlight mailing list where you could ask that. They also may have some other suggestions about integrating with OVS. --Justin On Feb 18, 2013, at 11:57 PM, "Yamini Ghuge" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Justin > > Thanks for the reply.
