Hi,
i would like to understand how Neutron is configuring OpenVswitch when using ML2.
For example, on one of the compute nodes I have a VM that is called host-vxlan2. Instance name is instance-00000e7.
This VM has the following network interface:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='fa:16:3e:d7:d7:13'/>
<source bridge='qbrea4f9446-76'/>
<target dev='tapea4f9446-76'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<alias name='net0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
The bridge has two interfaces, a tap device that is connected to the vm and another interface.
qbrea4f9446-76 8000.6683237a7c4d no qvbea4f9446-76
tapea4f9446-76
OVs has three bridges - br-ex, br-int, br-tun.
However, none of these bridges contain qbrea4f9446-76 or qvbea4f9446-76. But they contain a Port "qvoea4f9446-76" (similar name!).
Which command defines the connection between "qvoea4f9446-76" and "qbrea4f9446-76"?
Thanks in advance
Thomas
