[ovs-discuss] dhcp request originating from interfaces attached to OVS

[Gurucharan Shetty]

I think there is a disconnect between your intent in the question and
my understanding of it. The best way is to not enable DHCP on OVS
interfaces or on external ports added as ports to a OVS bridge. If
your question is to programmatically disable it, you will need to add
OpenFlow flows to disable DHCP requests.
