I would first use ovs-vsctl set-fail-mode xenbr0-int secure to ensure that OVS isn't replacing any flows that you are adding with its own in the event that it decides that it can't connect to a controller. If this is happening it might not be obvious since the flow you are adding is basically the same as the default. Also, have you tried doing this directly from the command line instead of a file? > Second, most of the time that I run the above flow I loose connectivity to > the machine.

Do you know if the flows on xenbr0 are being affected? Is it supposed to be sending traffic through xenbr0-int? _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
