OVS 2.3 doesn't configure any prefix fields by default, so you have to set the "prefixes" column in the OVSDB Flow_Table table. OVS 2.4 uses IPV4 source and destination fields as prefixes by default. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
