67 | | The final step of the build involves initializing a config database: |
68 | | {{{ |
69 | | http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL.Linux;hb=HEAD |
70 | | }}} |
71 | | |
72 | | Once Built we need to start the database server and the switch damemon before we can do any thing with it: |
73 | | 1. Start the server with this command: |
74 | | {{{ |
75 | | ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,managers --private-key=db:SSL,private_key --certificate=db:SSL,certificate --bootstrap-ca-cert=db:SSL,ca_cert & |
76 | | }}} |
77 | | 1. initialize the database using ovs-vsctl (only needs to be done once) |
78 | | {{{ |
79 | | ovs-vsctl --no-wait init |
80 | | }}} |
81 | | 1. Once the database server is started, we next can start the switch server: |
82 | | {{{ |
83 | | ovs-vswitchd unix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock & |
84 | | }}} |
