You will need to start the database server daemon along with ovs-vswitchd, and use the ovs-vsctl utility (which has been greatly extended) for most configuration tasks. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_openvswitch.org
