Hi,

I don't know if it's the right place to post such question but I'll try 
anyway. Please excuse
me if it's the wrong place :)

Being new to openvswitch world, I'm actually in the process to build a 
xen server host
with latest xen build (4.1.1) and latest kernel (3.0.0-rc5).
Everything good so far. I managed to compile the kernel module for 3.0.0 
by removing the checks
for 2.6.x in the makefiles so it accepts 3.0.0. Module built and working.

My machine has 6 nics and I wish to user the first two as a bonded trunk 
(for vlans) and I don't
really get how to do it with the ovs command lines.

Anyone knows what are the commands to setup a bond using eth0 and eth1, 
bond that will be
my trunk for the vlans, and then how to create an interface attached to 
a specific vlan for
my management interface ?

Thanks a lot for your help. Hope you understand why I try to explain.

Kind regards,
Sébastien
