ovn-controller-vtep(8) Open vSwitch Manual ovn-controller-vtep(8)
ovn-controller-vtep - Open Virtual Network local controller for vtep enabled physical switches.
ovn-controller-vtep [options] [--vtep-db=vtep-database] [--ovnsb- db=ovnsb-database]
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.
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.
