[ovs-discuss] Can OVS forward packets on the basis of IPV4 address

[Fischetti, Antonio]

Should you instead use "output:2" in your 3rd command, like:

ovs-ofctl add-flow br2 "priority=3,dl_type=0x0800,nw_src=10.0.1.10,tun_src=172.26.192.128,tun_id=5001,action=output:2"

?

Subject: [ovs-discuss] Can OVS forward packets on the basis of IPV4 address

Hi All, 

We are facing a issue, while forwarding packets from OVS to an external network. 

How we are doing it is as follows: 

Configuration on OVS (OVS IP : 172.26.194.120) 

ovs-ofctl add-flow br2 "priority=0,action=NORMAL" 
ovs-ofctl add-flow br2 "priority=2,in_port=1,dl_type=0x0800,action=NORMAL" 
ovs-ofctl add-flow br2 "priority=3,dl_type=0x0800,nw_src=10.0.1.10,tun_src=172.26.192.128,tun_id=5001,action=output:1" 

But the packets are not getting forwarded. 
Do we need to give the MAC addresses only to make this work ? ( Becoz it works when i give the MAC address of the two nodes.) 

Any pointers will be highly appreciated and of great help. 

Regards.
