Hi There , I am new to openvswitch and also new to networking in general. I am in the process of setting up a VPN tunnel with OVS + OpenVPN.
OVS version, I am running is 2.0.0 and OpenVPN is 2.2.1. I have successfully created certificate for server and client. Just to understand basic concept I tried to setup a tunnel without bridging mode and it worked fine meaning that I successfully able to ping VPN Client and VPN server. Now when I am trying to setup the tunnel in a bridged mode (using OVS bridges), I am phasing problems. In this configuration, I am able to successfully create TAP interfaces and they are also added in my bridge but I still can't ping VPN server and Client with these newly created TAP interfaces. After reading some of the already existing post on this topic, I understand that OpenVswitch + OpenVPN could be configured successfully but I could not get much configuration info from this post. ( http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/discuss/2010-July/004135.html) Also, there is a problem that these newly created TAP interfaces are not shown as a data path in the output of ovs-dbctl show but I am not sure what could be the problem. I am not sure if my scripts (up and down), which creates and configures TAP interfaces are missing something so I am sharing my up/down script as well as Server.conf file so that someone, who might have done this successfully can quickly have a look and help me. Thank you in advance but I am hoping to get some help on my problem. Best Regards, Priyanki.
