Thank you for taking the time to create this video and share it with us. Excellent brief explanation, and now I understand why I lost connectivity to my remote box when setting up OVS.

@DavidMahler 8 лет назад

+Petter Bruland You're welcome. Ah, yes I first learned that from Brent Salisbury's blog networkstatic.net/ it was confusing for me too at first.

@H3cJP 2 месяца назад

this is the best explanation i have seen so far, already known some stuff but the way you explained it was excelent, still helping people 10 years later so thanks

@matscloud 6 лет назад

THE best OVS intro I've seen so far... right now I see that I was confusing some cocepts, it just all came together now... Thanks!

This video helped me so much. HOURS I looked for guides thinking I installed it wrong, configured the bridge wrong. But nope. I forgot to add the tap ports to the virtual bridge. Thank you a ton for this video. I'd hug you if I could.

@Akshatha512 6 лет назад

Thank you, David. Immense respect for your presentation technique and eloquence. You inspire me to learn more and dig deeper to understand the core concepts behind these awesome technologies. I cannot stress the importance of the inspiration you provide. As an intern who wishes to excel in the networking field, it is deeply valuable.

@DavidMahler 6 лет назад

That's, great Akshata. Thanks so much for the kind words! The networking field is definitely about digging deeper into everything.

@undeaddutch 10 лет назад

Very clear explanation! Would like to see more :)

@JayLooney 8 лет назад

I feel like it's important to explain that all the commands are just abbreviations of what they are for 'ovs-vsctl' is for Open vSwitch Virtual Switch Control. I think it helps people to remember better and also helps provide some intuition and insight as to what certain commands might do based on what they are called.

@DavidMahler 8 лет назад

+Jay Looney Great suggestion, thanks!

@JayLooney 8 лет назад

+David Mahler no problem, thanks for the videos. I have spent the past few days trying to engineer a non-trivial home network with physical and virtual subnets and this video was super helpful.

@DavidMahler 10 лет назад

No problem! Thanks Rampras.

@Javier_FH 2 года назад

Thanks a lot for the explanation David. I love the way explain such a complex subject (at least for me). I wish there would be a revisited version, since many of the commands have changed, but I also understand it is a huge effort. Anyway, once more thank you very much for your clear explanations. Now if the whole exercise works in my machine, I'll be the happiest man in the world :P

@pubdigitalix Год назад

This is because they change cosmetics things every time to time but the core concepts are the same. man pages are your friend.

Thanks for a great tutorial David. To all the viewers following this tutorial, just want to inform that you will encounter a problem if you try to assign wireless interface instead of wired interface(eth0) to open vswitch. When you start the VM, you will lost internet connectivity. Try using wired interface to make it work.

@PETAJOULE543 5 лет назад

Open vSwitch explained well (it is Switch that utilize OpenFlow concepts) and also practical implementation with these command lines. As default implementation, it work like regular layer 2 switch. But we can modify it further to get SDN capabilities.

@steveinbox8771 3 года назад

I am completely new to this but I wanted to say thank you so much for making this great easy to digest video. Explaining the the disconnect part was huge. I also wanted to add this in case someone else new needed it. To configure the mybridge with a static ip. You will should use the below. 1. Assign static ip to mybridge - #sudo ip addr add / dev mybridge 2. Set the default gateway to via mybridge - #sudo route add default gw mybridge 3. You may need to remove the eth0/ens default gateway route to ensure the only default route uses mybridge to go to the gateway * I found this because I am trying to learn how to configure openvswitch for lacp with some vm's in vmware. If anyone has any videos like this showing how to do this that would be great *Also if anyone knows offhand how to configure the settings I posted so that they persist upon reboot that would be cool (I am using ubuntu 20.04). vport1 and vport2 also don't persist reboot

@Javier_FH 2 года назад

Hi Steve, did you ever find answers to your questions? The truth is that I was also trying to follow the demo with a Ubuntu 20.04 VM instantiated in Openstack, but when I redirect eth0 towards the mybridge all goes down. I tried dhclient mybridge and takes forever, but I am afraid it didn't do anything and then when i try to see the routes everything is empty. Did you manage to get a more up to date list of steps. I would love to be able to complete the whole exercise and what David did, feels so easy when he does it :)

@abdulrahmansattar2873 6 лет назад

Thanks a bunch for making these videos. They are very clear. Would you have recommend any books that cover the internals of openstack and openvswitch? Also any books which would walk you through building your own networking lab, using the technologies you cover. Thanks once again!

Hey David, thanks for the great tutorial. Is it possible for you to make a tutorial with a remote SDN controller pushing flow entries to OpenVSwitch ? I would be really thankful if you could just guide me through that. Thanks

Great video, thank you. You mention persistence but when I reboot I lose some of the VM interfaces I configured before boot using add-port and when I show my ovs config it reverts back to some older configuration installed several boots ago. Is the database corrupted? How would I check? Thanks I am now learning and subscribed.

Thanks for your details, I have a centos vm machines installed openvswitch as trial lab running on ESXi, and I have ens192 (uplink to my home network), and mybridge created, but I would like to have mybridge connect to an isolated vmware esxi vswitch (e.g. not connect to any network adapter) which further connect VMs, is that possible?

Thanks for the great tutorial. Virtualbox does not show the list of virtual interfaces in VM settings(7:34 in the video). It instead shows the two options: 1. Realtech PCIe GbE Family Controller, 2. Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless. What can I do to bring them?
