whether this is the case. If you know that your particular driver can
handle it (for example by testing sending large TCP packets over VLANs)
then passing in a value of 1 may improve performance. Modules built for
- Linux kernels 2.6.37 and later do not need this and do not have this
- parameter. If you do not understand what this means or do not know if
- your driver will work, do not set this.

7. Initialize the configuration database using ovsdb-tool, e.g.:
% ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db \
--remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock \
- --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,managers \
+ --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,manager_options \
--private-key=db:SSL,private_key \
--certificate=db:SSL,certificate \
--bootstrap-ca-cert=db:SSL,ca_cert \
1. Stop the Open vSwitch daemons, e.g.:
- % ovs-kill ovsdb-server.pid ovs-vswitchd.pid
+ % kill `cd /usr/local/var/run && cat ovsdb-server.pid ovs-vswitchd.pid`
2. Install the new Open vSwitch release.
