database you created during step 7 of installation, above, and to
listen on a Unix domain socket, e.g.:
- % ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/ovsdb-server
+ % ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
Then initialize the database with "ovs-vsctl init". This is only
necessary the first time after you create the database with
Then start the main Open vSwitch daemon, telling it to connect to the
same Unix domain socket:
- % ovs-vswitchd unix:/usr/local/var/run/ovsdb-server
+ % ovs-vswitchd unix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
Now you may use ovs-vsctl to set up bridges and other Open vSwitch
features. For example, to create a bridge named br0 and add ports
