[ovs-discuss] How to use Openflow

Wed Dec 7 09:44:36 UTC 2011

in the host pc have run the following command
   OpenFlow Controller Connectivity

#ovs-vsctl set-controller br1 tcp:10.0.2.246:6633

br1 already exist and port eth1 is bind to it

and then on controller i tried to listen through ovs-controller

# ovs-controller -v pctp:6633

Then i got something like this 
Dec 07 12:55:35|00001|controller|ERR|pctp:6633: connect: Address family not supported by protocol
ovs-controller: no active or passive switch connections

can you tell we if i am doing it right or is there any other way to do it.
