Where is Open vSwitch?

[MimCom]

Couldn't find anything relevant in the GUI so I logged in to experiment with the tools. Did I miss something?

root@pve1:~# ovs-vsctl ?
-bash: ovs-vsctl: command not found
root@pve1:~# uname -a
Linux pve1 2.6.32-28-pve #1 SMP Tue Mar 18 15:21:47 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@pve1:~# whereis ovs-vsctl
ovs-vsctl:
root@pve1:~# dpkg -l|grep openv
root@pve1:~#

hmmm

root@pve1:~# apt-get -s install openvswitch*

you only need "openvswitch-switch"

you only need "openvswitch-switch"

Should I manually add the package? The only mention of 'vswitch' in the wiki is a roadmap link and I haven't seen much written here on the topic.

thanks~

Should I manually add the package

# apt-get install openvswitch-switch

Check -- installed. Instantly the GUI shows both OVS- and Linux- options under 'Create.'

Thank you.
