Hi All, Context: In OpenStack Neutron, we have a script named ovs_cleanup that basically deletes all ovs ports in the boot process. For some use cases (as mentioned here https://review.openstack.org/#/c/460524/ ]), we would like to be able to skip the cleanup for specific ports.
>From what I currently know, there are two possible ways do to that: 1. Use 'other_config', by appending: -- set Interface myport other_config:skip_cleanup=true" 2. Use 'external_ids. by appending ': -- set Interface myport external_ids:skip_cleanup=true" In the patch I already mentioned, I was told that: using external_ids is safer than other_config as it won't be interpreted by the switch (with the reference http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/topics/integration/ ) Will usage of 'external_ids' be a better practice to achieve that goal? I would really appreciate your feedback on this. Thanks, Nir
