[ovs-discuss] Namespaces connectivity through OVS

[Rajasekaran, Monica]

Hi Scott,

It is connected to an ODL controller. Is there a way to disable OVS learning by itself? I only want it to know if I add flows.

Thanks,
Monica

Hi Monica, you didn't indicate (as far as I can tell) if OVS is connected to a controller. It's my understanding that, by default, when OVS is not connected to a controller it will act as a learning switch.
