Hi all,
I met a problem. I want to firstly create a tap device. I used the tool tunctl
to create the tap device, After that, I attached the interface to openvswitch
bridge. When check the type, the type is empty string. From the man 5
ovs-vswitchd.conf.db,
type: string
The interface type, one of:
system An ordinary network device, e.g. eth0 on Linux.
Sometimes referred to as ''external interfaces'' since they are generally
connected to hardware
external to that on which the Open vSwitch is running.
The empty string is a synonym for system.
it seems that after attaching to bridge, the type is system type. Usually the
physical ethernet port is system type. When I want to send the packets to vxlan
device from the tap device I created using tunctl(I have set a flow entry from
tap device to vxlan device), I found that the tap device dropped all of the
packets. Can anybody give me some advices why this happens?
