[ovs-discuss] problems about openvswitch

[Xin Wang]

Hello,
>I have installed openvswitch on VMware (linux system), and I followed the instruction to replace it for a linux kernel bridge. 
>mmm at ubuntu:~/openvswitch-0.99.2$ cat /etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf
>bridge.bri.port=bri
>bridge.bri.port=eth0

>And last time I asked this question, you replied me as follow:

"You need to move your IP address from eth0 to bri.  The switch will take the packets from eth0 before they make it to the IP stack, which is why you have the local port."
 
But I still don't know the exact steps how to switch the IP address, could ypou give me a more specified instruction.

And more, in "ovs-vsctl" , could you tell me about the differences between "bridge" and "fake bridge"  and the differences between "port" and "interface", and how to config them, Thank you!

Best regards,
Xin
