[ovs-discuss] 回复: a question regarding to tap internal interface

[pei Jikui]

Ben,

Thanks much for your reply.

My confusion comes from the openstack's official document of https://docs.openstack.org/liberty/networking-guide/scenario-classic-ovs.html

   As illustrated in the picture, we can see that the interface used to connect ovs and dhcp-netns is a tap interface. While from the output of "ovs-vsctl show", it indicates that the type of interface is internal.  That confuses me much.

   I am thinking that the tap interface is for the name of the interface instead of the type of the interface?

Thanks

This is wrong.  Tap and internal are different kinds of interfaces.
What does ovs-vsctl show that makes you confuse the two?

These commands are wrong.  If you create a tap interface, you must not
tell ovs-vsctl that it is an internal interface.

What led you to believe that these commands were correct?

You cannot.  That is not possible.
