[ovs-discuss] OVS with VLANs

[David Fernández]

Hi Sundar,

Maybe the problem could be that you have to tell your br-int switch that the port that connects to enp1s0 is a trunk interface and carries VLAN 3.

Something like the following command issued in host 3 could do the job:

  ovs-vsctl set port enp1s0 trunk=3

Just in case it is useful, in VNX (Virtual Networks over linuX, http://vnx.dit.upm.es) site we have an example scenario using OVS and VLANs:

http://web.dit.upm.es/vnxwiki/index.php/Vnx-tutorial-openvswitch

In section 4 in that page you can find the ovs-vsctl commands that VNX tool issues to create the scenario and configure VLANs.

If I configure the IP directly on br-int, without a VLAN tag and use enp1s0.3 as physical interface, that doesn’t work either. However, if I configure the IP on enp1s0.3, I can then ping the other hosts, as expected.
