Hi, I am experimenting with the os-vif library and stumbled upon this new VIF type called VIFHostDevice. I have few general queries. TIA.
1. How do I create ports with VIF_type as VIFHostDevice? Looking for the CLI command options. 2. Say, I have OVS running completely on x86 host(no datapath or flow offload to NIC) as the networking mechanism and a SRIOV capable NIC(for existence of VF representors that will be added to the OVS bridge). Can I still launch instances with VIF_type as VIFHostDevice? 3. I want to use Security Groups using OVS+Conntrack as the mechanism. Can I apply SG rules on the ports of type VIFHostDevice using the above mechanism? PS: I am still trying to understand this. Hence, I might get my premises wrong in the above questions. Will appreciate a detailed explanation.
