NAME¶
ovn-controller-vtep - Open Virtual Network local controller for vtep enabled
physical switches.
SYNOPSIS¶
ovn-controller-vtep [options] [--vtep-db=vtep-database]
[--ovnsb-db=ovnsb-database]
DESCRIPTION¶
ovn-controller-vtep is the local controller daemon in OVN, the Open
Virtual Network, for VTEP enabled physical switches. It connects up to the OVN
Southbound database (see ovn-sb(5)) over the OVSDB protocol, and down
to the VTEP database (see vtep(5)) over the OVSDB protocol.
CONFIGURATION¶
ovn-controller-vtep retrieves its configuration information from both the
ovnsb and the vtep database. If the database locations are not given from
command line, the default is the db.sock in local OVSDB’s
’run’ directory. The datapath location must take one of the
following forms:
- •
- ssl:ip:port
- The specified SSL port on the host at the given ip, which
must be expressed as an IP address (not a DNS name) in IPv4 or IPv6
address format. If ip is an IPv6 address, then wrap ip with
square brackets, e.g.: ssl:[::1]:6640. The --private-key,
--certificate and either of --ca-cert or
--bootstrap-ca-cert options are mandatory when this form is
used.
- •
- tcp:ip:port
- Connect to the given TCP port on ip, where ip can be
IPv4 or IPv6 address. If ip is an IPv6 address, then wrap ip
with square brackets, e.g.: tcp:[::1]:6640.
- •
- unix:file
- On POSIX, connect to the Unix domain server socket named file.
- On Windows, connect to a localhost TCP port whose value is written in
file.
