[ovs-dev] How to make ovs bridge come up on boot

Wed Aug 31 08:56:56 UTC 2016

Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out how to bring my br0 bridge up every time my
server boots.
usually i have to follow these steps,

sudo ovs-vsctl add-br br0
> sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br0 enp1s0
> sudo ifconfig enp1s0 0.0.0.0
> sudo dhclient br0
>

I tried to follow
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/debian/openvswitch-switch.README.Debian
but it does not seem to work.

Do I have to make entries in /etc/network/interface or create some kind of
script?

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 and ovs-vsctl (Open vSwitch) 2.5.0 if that is of any
relevance.

Thank you.
