If you want to try it out here are some quick commands from my notes. Fyi, if you don¹t have an OOB nic and don¹t script moving the IP from ethX to brX it will clip you connection :)
Configure a bridge and add eth0 to the new bridge: -------------------------------------------------- sudo ovs-vsctl add-br br0 ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0 ovs-vsctl list port Change your eth(n) IP to your new bra interface: ------------------------------------------------ ifconfig eth0 0 ifconfig br0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default gw 192.168.1.1 br0 Thanks, -Brent On 3/27/14, 8:54 PM, "Ben Pfaff" <[email protected]> wrote: >On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 08:32:33PM -0400, John Thoe wrote: >> > At that point, the packet has passed out of the domain of Open vSwitch >> > into the kernel IP stack, so you need to consider reasons why the >>kernel >> > IP stack would not respond to an ICMP packet: routing, etc. >> >> yes which is what surprises me because if I bring the bridge down, i am >>able to ping the host. >> >> Am I correct in assuming that setting IP address to the bridge is >>enough for what I am trying or is there a better way? >> >I don't know what your setup looks like.
