[ovs-discuss] Install Guide for OpenvSwitch + KVM on CentOS 6.x?

[Jake G.]

Thanks for the reply.

I havent installed anything yet, because I am not sure what my NIC configuration should be to work with openvswitch.
Right now my settings are:

eth0: 10.3.9.50/8 no gateway (management network-no internet)
eth1: 192.168.100.131/24 GW=192.168.100.254 (Internet access)


Should I create bridges first? Can someone provide an example of there NIC settings?

thank you!

If you already have installed KVM on Centos6.x and have spun up VMs on
Linux bridge using libvirt, moving to Open vSwitch is very
straight-forward.

1) Read INSTALL or INSTALL.RHEL in the Open vSwitch repo to install
Open vSwitch in Centos.

2) You need >= libvirt0.9.11 for openvswitch support.
(I compile from sources from http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-1.0.0.tar.gz)

3) Read INSTALL.Libvirt file.
- Make sure you attach a physical interface to Open vSwitch bridge as
a port (just like you would do for a linux bridge) if you want
external network connectivity.
