Re: [ovs-discuss] using FQDN for Controller name
This is mostly for historical reasons, by the way. We'd accept a patch that adds DNS support. (It's nontrivial though because it would have to be asynchronous.)

Re: [ovs-discuss] using FQDN for Controller name
Ben, Can we request this feature for OVS? It greatly helps if we use SSL as connectivity protocol and we need to use it also for identity.

[ovs-discuss] using FQDN for Controller name
Hello, I am trying to use FQDN for controller name - example: # ovs-vsctl set-controller ovs-br0 ssl:faucet.example.com:6653 Per OVS logs, I see the below errors: Address family not supported by protocol connection failed (Address family not supported by protocol) *Question*: can we not set FQDN as a valid controller name? Thanks! /Shivaram ___ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
