I don't think you can do this from OVSDB/ovs-vsctl. The column you're looking at is a read-only, status column. You can control the admin state through OpenFlow/ovs-ofctl; take a look at the "ovs-ofctl mod-port" command. --Justin _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
