[ovs-discuss] OVS On Switching Devices

[Ali Zaringhalam]

Hi:

I am new to OVS.   I would like to use OVS to control a Broadcom switch.
Has OVS been ported to control any switching ASIC?

I'd like to do a simple scenario:

1. From OVS controller, turn up two ports (one Access and one trunk) in the
switch and watch the LEDs light up.
2. Set up a VLAN connection between the two ports. Send an untagged packet
from a test head on one port and capture it on another.

I am trying to understand the "plumbing" in OVS to see where I can glue OVS
to my code so I can use the device API.

Is there existing documentation that can help with using OVS port to
control physical switches?

Regards,

Ali
