Hi,
For configuring external gateway, ovn-controller man page says:
"
external_ids:ovn-bridge-mappings
A list of key-value pairs that map a physical network name
to a local ovs bridge that provides connectivity
to that network. An example value mapping two
physical network names to two ovs bridges would be: phys‐
net1:br-eth0,physnet2:br-eth1.
"
Created bridge br-ex and attached an interface p1p2 having external
connectivity.
# ovs-vsctl --may-exist add-br br-ex -- set bridge br-ex protocols=OpenFlow13
# ovs-vsctl set open . external-ids:ovn-bridge-mappings=provider:br-ex
# ovs-vsctl --may-exist add-port br-ex p1p2
After configuring Openstack with external networks, ovn-controller on compute
actually looks for bridge named "provider" in ovn/controller/patch.c :
add_bridge_mappings, which of-course is not created but throws error that
"br-ex" not found as can be seen in ovn-controller.log
"2017-08-18T11:20:30.477Z|04536|patch|ERR| bridge not found for localnet port
'provnet-031111bf-ad69-4225-b69c-0cd23d7969af' with network name 'br-ex'"
When this external-id is defined as ovn-bridge-mappings=br-ex:br-ex, it works
fine and no error is thrown.
Is this a bug or the field before ":" in this external-id represents bridge
name.
Thanks,
Jai
