ovs

Hi there, I just noticed that the shipped version of openvswitch (2.12.x on Proxmox VE 6.3) does not yet support specifying a primary member for an active-backup bond. Unfortunately, this means that there is no clearly defined state. Newer versions (since 2.14.x, I believe) do have that...

I'll keep the post short and to the point: I have successfully configured a port mirror using ovs-vsctl. I have read somewhere that I can add the mirror to /etc/network/interfaces in order for it to persist reboots. However, I don't know the exact syntax to use. Can anyone advise how to add...

Hello, My current host configuration consists of OVS Bridges and IntPorts. One of the IntPorts is the "main" one with a default gateway and static IPv4 address set up. The PVE host is behind a router. My ISP is dual-stack, it also provides a IPv6 /64 CIDR using DHCPv6, which my router happily...

After recently upgrading to the latest version we started seeing these errors in the kernel on a few nodes. We are using openvswitch, the only thing I found using google that might explain the problem is this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/10/522 Before the update we were running kernel...

We try to crossconnect traffic from external devices into VMs running on pve. The external devices operate with untagged and vlan-tagged traffic. The VMs are supposed to receive the traffic the same way - untagged and tagged. The VMs have proper vlan configs "inside" to receive the traffic...

Hello Everyone, Does anyone know how to permanently save openvswitch configuration ? I have made some changes through the console for my switch !! ( not from the Proxmox web interface ) and now when i reboot any of my containers the interface configuration for that particular container is lost.

I have updated all Debian / Proxmox packages as of today. Running Proxmox 6.3-2 I've just started diving into the world of VLANs and have run into an issue that I can't seem to get around. Host network config: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eno3 iface eno3 inet manual auto eno4 iface...

Can you please tell me how much the bandwidth drops when switching from the classic network design in Proxmox to openvswitch?

Hello, is it possible to configure a bond on an ovs switch that is not connected to a physical interface ? For my lab i'd like to test bonding from a VM to a virtual Switch I've only seen examples with physical interfaces (on the Hypervisor) thanks.

Hello, I cannot seem to get DHCP to work - looks like the packages are not forwarded - to either a VM or a container in Proxmox, using Linux Native Bridge. It does however work if I have the same configuration using OVS. Proxmox is running as an instance inside ESXi 7.0. ESXi Config Network...

Greetings fellow Proxmox users and moderators. First I want to thank the Proxmox team and developers for creating an amazing product. I have been a Proxmox user for only about 2 years but a Linux admin for about 15 years. Regrettably I have not created a forum account until now, however I...

This morning I decided to make the jump to ovs. I am at the point of applying my changes, but I wanted to do check a couple of things. After I installed *openvswitch*, I noticed that the openvswitch.service was disabled. I decided to not enable or start the service until I was sure that it would...

Hi! After default install of Proxmox VE 6.1, I try to set networks, but not working. My host PC have only 1 gigabit network card (enp3s0), connected to router/switch/internet. No IPV6 currently used. That Proxmox host have internet access, updated packages, etc. This all fine. Installed LXC...

Hi all, I'm running a 4 node pve cluster (6-1.3) with ovs installed. All networks configured using ovs and all interfaces are LACP bonded. OVS BOND (LACP) -> OVS BRIDGE -> VMS -> Intports Recently I noticed Windows VMs using intel E1000 drivers disconnecting after some...

Hi, I have following configuration: - vmbr2 OVS bridge (attached image 1) - Bridge ports: vlan01, vlan02 - vlan01 OVSIntPort (attached image 2) - OVS Bridge: vmbr2 - VLAN Tag: 1 - IPv4/CIDR: 99.0.1.254/24 - vlan02 OVSIntPort (attached image 3) - OVS Bridge: vmbr2 -...

I am running into an issue any time I try setting up OVS bridge. I loose network to my dedicate sever. I have a point-to-point link to my public IP provided by the hosting company. I was able to on one of my boxes for a short time run the interfaces Bridge config and it worked. So I figured I...

Hi, I just discovered your and this one corresponds to my needs towards my lab server. I made a first note: auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-vmbr0 bond0 iface bond0 inet manual ovs_bridge vmbr0 ovs_type OVSBond ovs_bonds eth0 eth1 ovs_options bond_mode=balance-tcp...

Hallo, ich bin jetzt schon seit über 10 std. dran zwischen meinen 3 nodes eine OVS Bridge zu konfigurieren. ZIel ist es das ich meinen VM's nur noch ein VLAN-tag zuweisen muss damit die Kommunikation funktioniert. Aber offenbar scheint der Private Switch den Hetzner anbietet ein reiner Layer2...

Anybody here aware of performance comparison tests made lately between openvswitch and linux bridge?

Hi everybody, I try to setup an OVS ring with 3 nodes. This setup requires some kind of stp. I've created a OVS bridge in the webui and added the option "rstp_enable=true" in the OVS options field. After a restart I get " Sep 22 12:31:33 nodeA ovs-vsctl[1574]: ovs|00001|vsctl|INFO|Called as...
