[PVE-User] About openvswitch: just for testing purpose

[Diaolin]

I'm testing the "testing" release in a minimal production env

(15 vm on 2 nodes)

The switch works (OVSBridge)
but i'm searching to enable a tunnel between three nodes
in this manner:


/etc/network/interfaces

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
	address  10.168.1.55
	netmask  255.255.255.0
	ovs_type OVSBridge
	ovs_ports vx1

allow-vmbr1 vx1
iface vx1 inet manual
	ovs_type OVSTunnel
	ovs-bridge vmbr1
	ovs_tunnel_type vxlan
	ovs_tunnel_options options:remote_ip=192.168.1.56 options:key=flow 
options:dst_port=9999


seems that gre and vxlan are not compiled in...

in the two cases (gre and vxlan)

but i've seen that if using 3.1.10 it works like a charme

CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH=m
CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_GRE=y
CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN=y


in the 2.6.32-27-pve the vxlan and the gre are missing

CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH=m


is this related to the backporting of openvswitch???

I take a look at the sources and seems that gre/vxlan are
missing in the 2.32 tree...

In any case no problem, only as advice for who is testing:

in the 2.6.32 no way to configure vxlan or gre on OVSTunnel.

Any idea to implement OVSTunnel in the interface?

:-)

Tx, Diaolin
