[ovs-discuss] Question about GRE support

[David Shwatrz]

Hi, ovs-discuss list,

My question is: is GRE  supported when running latest ovs from the git repo
with the original openvswitch module from kernel 3.11 ? or should I use the
kernel module which comes with the userspace tree ?

The reason is that when running:
ovs-vsctl add-br br0
and
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 gre1 -- set interface gre1 type=gre
options:remote_ip=192.168.2.10
I am getting:
ovs-vsctl: Error detected while setting up 'gre1'.  See ovs-vswitchd
log for details.
and
In
 /var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log
I have:
failed to add gre1 as port: Address family not supported by protocol

regards,
Andy
