You can use them for the correct way of restarting openvswitch. I usually do the following: ./boot.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-linux=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build make make install cp ./datapath/linux/openvswitch.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/openvswitch.ko depmod -a /etc/init.d/openvswitch[-switch] force-reload-kmod (after copying one of the startup scripts to /etc/init.d) > > How does one restart the vswichd daemon and ovsdb-server as well as the > various connections, without having to re-setup the bridge and ports? > You don't have to re-setup bridge and ports.
