[ovs-discuss] OVS 2.6.90 & ODL Beryllium

[Richard Renwick]

Sorry if the question is not clear.  Let me try to clarify.

I have upgraded a vSwitch to v2.6.90 of OVS which brings with it new functionality - specifically the nat and ct actions in this case.
Do I have to do anything with OVS to allow these new features to be used by the NBI in ODL?

I have also posted this on an ODL forum but the problem is I do no know whether ODL should find out about these new functions on its own or if I need to make OVS tell it.  Hence the problem’s solution may lie with either one.

Regards,
	Richard

I have successfully set up the flows I need using ovs-vsctl but now I want to do it using the northbound interface of ODL (Beryllium).  However, I am really struggling to get to grips with how to implement the “ct” & “nat” actions in my ovs-vsctl commands.  I have pasted just one of the OVS commands below as an example:
