[ovs-discuss] GRE tunnel creation fails: "applying "create" command to table Interface without --id option will have no effect"

[Heinonen, Johanna (NSN - FI/Espoo)]

Hi,

I am trying to create a gre tunnel between ovs (v1.1.0) and a linux
machine which is running in a VM. I have created dp0 and attached normal
eth interfaces to it. Dp0 is controlled by NOX. This far everything
works fine. Now I'd like to create  a gre tunnel and attach it to dp0
similar way as eth interfaces.  I tried to follow the instructions from
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@openvswitch.org/msg00495.html .
However, the result from the first step is:

root at ovs:~# ovs-vsctl create Interface name=gre0 type=gre
options:remote_ip=192.168.4.1 options:key=1
Jan 13 16:39:31|00002|vsctl|WARN|applying "create" command to table
Interface without --id option will have no effect
5fff7494-0edd-49b2-8064-c57d095c01e5
   
All the examples I am able to find seems to succeed without any -id
option. What am I missing here? Do I need -id option? If yes, where can
I find it?

Some examples use also ovs-vsctl -add-port br0 gre0 -set Interface gre0
type=gre options:remote_ip=1.2.3.4. This command does not accept dp0
(only br0) so I failed with this one too. What is the relation between
dp0 (kernel concept?) and br0?

Do you have any ideas what is wrong and what should I try next?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Johanna
