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

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

Hi, indeed, proxmox only support openvswitch with kernel 3.10

(openvswitch in 2.6.32 is really old)



>>Any idea to implement OVSTunnel in the interface? 
Do you mean in web pve-manager ? 
I'll try to have a look at it soon. (I'll try to implement vxlan for classic linux bridge and openvswitch)

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

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
