[ovs-discuss] Retrieving RSTP parameters and debugging

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi!

New to Openvswitch I read the docu and searched through the mailing 
lists and forum but there are still some things I could not solve.

What is the current set pathcost for a port? I know how to set it, but 
can't retrieve it.

I have the following setup:


Host1                  Host2
  ovs <---GRE Tunnel---> ovs
   ^                      ^
   |                      |
   |                      |
1G Ethernet            1G Ethernet
   |                      |
   |                      |
   V                      V
Host1                  Host2
  ovs <---GRE Tunnel---> ovs


Frankly, the RSTP blocked one of the 1G physical links. I would have 
expected that a Tunnel should have a bad path cost, obviously not. But I 
could not debug this as I failed retrieving the current path costs.

Hence, I am looking for commands to debug/analyze the RSTP, ie. by 
retrieving all the parameters (pathcost, port status, ...)

Thanks
