Trying my luck in asking my question in this forum.

Have 3-nodes that are physically cabled (each node has 2 cables to each other node, total 6 six cables, no switch) as a full mesh network per https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server#Introduction (4. Broadcast: Each packet is sent to both other nodes)

Nodes
From To
1 --> 2, 3
2 --> 1, 3
3 --> 1, 2

Per https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server#Broadcast_Setup, using traditional Linux networking using broadcast bond mode.

I've migrated the nodes to Open VSwitch. The only non-LACP bond mode options are active-backup & balance-slb.

Well, that ain't going to work due to physical cabling and no switch.

Does Open VSwitch supports broadcast bond mode?

I did enter at the CLI, other_config:bond_mode=broadcast but it didn't work.

Does anyone have a working config for Open VSwitch broadcast bond mode?
