Hi All, using XCP (Xen Cloud Platform) which comes with openvswitch - I was able to start 2 VM's and configure the openvswitch to speak to nox. I didn't need to uninstall the default bridge etc. just executed the commands ovs-vsctl set-controller /
Only issue is both the outbound traffic from VM's and control traffic to NOX goes on same eth0 (xenbr0). Ideally, I would like to use eth0 (xenbr0) for openflow control traffic and eth1(xenbr1) connected directly to an software based openflow switch to send/recv vm's traffic. But, this is not working. Thanks a lot for your help. Regards, Vishal (p.s., not really a NOX question, but just cross posting if someone has already solved openvswitch configuration for openflow on xen or xen cloud platform) On Mon, Jul 30, 2012 at 3:49 PM, Vishal <[email protected]> wrote: > After installing XEN and few VM's running, I have following interfaces: > > xenbr0, vif1.0...., and virbr0. > > Now, I can compile openvswitch from tar ball.
