Are you trying to get this information on a different system than where OVS is
running? If so, you need to tell your OVS to listen for an OpenFlow connection:
ovs-vsctl set-controller <bridge> ptcp:
This is a somewhat unusual configuration. Usually, ovs-ofctl commands are run
locally and just use a Unix domain socket, or a controller is running on a
remote system and OVS establishes the OpenFlow connection. Rarely, do we
configure OVS to listen for a TCP-based OpenFlow connection.
