You can use "br-get-external-id", as documented in the ovs-vsctl man page.  You can also use the lower-level commands such as "get" with appropriate arguments.  Does that answer your question or are you asking how to query it programmatically without using ovs-vsctl?

As far as I have understood the external IDs in the OVS can be used for network virtualization and the ID can be set using the br-set-external-id command. My question is that when I set this ID then how can I access it from the database to use in my code?
