[ovs-discuss] How to smoothly add eth0 to the OVS bridge?

[Jing Ai]

The script is located on the remote host. I ran it after ssh to the remote host.
Now I changed to your way, say from my own host, I issued the following command:
ssh root@<remote host> "ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0; ifconfig eth0 0; ifconfig br0 <eth0's ip address>"
However, I still lost connection to the remote host. Did I still do sth wrong?
