I chose to do that because it seems like a simple 'hello world' type of thing. I've got 3 NICs on this computer, and two test VMs running debian. It seems that half the time I get the error message "could not add network device X to ofproto (Invalid Argument)". The other half it adds, but I can't pass traffic. I've never been able to add more than 1 interface successfully. Ususally after the first one is successfully added, adding the second causes them both to fail.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Scenarios I'd like to do (as a hello world! exercise):<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Bridge physical interface to a VM.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Bridge two VMs together.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Any advice for how to go about this?<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>-Jacob<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
