[ovs-discuss] Problems

[Federico Alves]

On  RHEl, I followed all the instruction to use openvswitch as a drop-in
replacement for the Linux bridge.
Nevertheless, I get this error when I try to add a bridge:

brctl addbr br0
add bridge failed: No such process

But everything needed is loaded

ps -auxx | grep ovs

--certificate=db:SSL,certificate --bootstrap-ca-cert=db:SSL,ca_cert
--pidfile --detach
 
And the modules as well
lsmod

autofs4                27683  3

brcompat_mod            5647  0
openvswitch_mod        85042  1 brcompat_mod

If I add a bridge like this:

ovs-vsctl add-br br0

Then if I do "brctl show"

bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 /sys/class/net/br0/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/br0/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/br0/bridge: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?
