<br>
<br>
I have just 1 question. Is it possible to use OVS inside an
Openstack VM ? Let me explain my issue.
<br>
<br>
I have created 2 Ubuntu 16.04 VMs and installed last version of
OVS in both. Both VMs are connected to the same network and they
can ping each other.
<br>
Then, I have created an OVS bridge (namely "br-test") in the first
VM and I have added the port of the VM (ens1) to the ovs bridge as
usual. At this point I cant't ping from one VM to the other.
<br>
If I perform tcpdump on the bridge (tcpdump br-test), I see that
ARP requests are sent but they are not sent by the interface of
the VM (ens1).
<br>
I tried to add the MAC addreses manually to the ARP table of each
VM. When I ping, I see the same case : icmp packets outgoing the
bridge br-test but never sent by the interface ens1 of the VM.
<br>
<br>
I have tried the same scenario using a linux bridge instead of OVS
swithch and it works.
<br>
<br>
Do you have any idea of why there are issues binding VM interface
to OVS bridges ? Any information will be really apreciated !!
Thanks in advance !!!
<br>
