<p>Hello,<br>
<br>
I am trying to connect two openvswitch mininet network situated in
two different hosts through a vxlan tunnel.</p>
<p>However, when I try to setup a vxlan port on a switch through the
following command, I get "address family not supported error".<br>
</p>
<p><i>ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vxlan1 -- set interface vxlan1
type=vxlan options:remote_ip=192.168.1.2 options:key=flow</i></p>
<p>Error:<br>
ovs-vsctl: Error detected while setting up 'vxlan1': could not add
network device vxlan1 to ofproto (Address family not supported by
protocol). See ovs-vswitchd log for details.<br>
Log message:<br>
|00022|dpif|WARN|system@ovs-system: failed to add vxlan1 as port:
Address family not supported by protocol<br>
|00023|bridge|WARN|could not add network device vxlan1 to ofproto
(Address family not supported by protocol)</p>
<p>Any inputs on this long persisted issue will be really helpful.<br>
I am using ubuntu-16, kernel 4.4 and ovs 2.7.1<br>
<br>
Thanks and Regards<br>
