I'm new to OVS and I'm trying to create a very basic network using VMs and OVS as a switch. I'm running Virtualbox 4.3 on Ubuntu14.04. generally I want to create such structure, I assume finally I will be able to ping both direction (from VM to host and vise-versa) and b.n VMs (Image attached)
I have created the bridge then the taps and add them to the bridge as ports. here are the commands I have executed. - ovs-vsctl add-br br0 - ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0 - ifconfig eth0 0 - ifconfig br0 up - dhclient br0 - ip tuntap add mode tap vport1 - ip tuntap add mode tap vport2 - ifconfig vport1 up - ifconfig vport2 up - ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vport1 -- add-port br0 vport2 After this when I run ifconfig every thing is as expected (Br0 have an IP vport1 and vport2 are visible but no IP). Also the "ovs-vsctl show" is as expected. Then in Virtual box I have two VMs (both ubuntu 14.04), in the network setting, I have chosen "Bridged Adapter" and as an interface vport1 and vport2 for VM1 and VM2 respectively. But when I start the VMs they are not connected to anything, they don't have IP or anything. Can anyone help me please where is the problem and what should I do ? thank you for the help in advance
