-A daemon that manages and controls any number of Open vSwitch switches
+A daemon that manages and controls any number of Open vSwitch switches
on the local machine.

The mandatory \fIdatabase\fR argument normally takes the form
Upon receipt of a SIGHUP signal, \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR reopens its log
file, if one was specified on the command line.

-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR switches may be configured with any of the following
+\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR switches may be configured with any of the following
features:
.
.IP \(bu
A single \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR can manage any number of switch instances, up
to the maximum number of supported Open vSwitch datapaths.
.PP
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR provides all the features of \fBovs-openflowd\fR,
-and more. Do not run both daemons at the same time.
-.PP
\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR does all the necessary management of Open vSwitch datapaths
itself. Thus, external tools, such \fBovs\-dpctl\fR(8), are not needed for
managing datapaths in conjunction with \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR, and their use
\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR emits a log message if \fBmlockall()\fR is
unavailable or unsuccessful.
.
-.IP "\fB\-\-fake\-proc\-net\fR"
-Causes \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR to simulate some files in \fB/proc/net/vlan\fR
-and \fB/proc/net/bonding\fR that some legacy software expects to
-exist. This option should only be used if such legacy software is
-actually in use. It requires the \fBbrcompat_mod.ko\fR kernel module
-to be loaded.
-.IP
-On non-Linux hosts, this option is accepted but has no effect.

+\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR detaches only after it has connected to the \
+database, retrieved the initial configuration, and set up that \
+configuration.

Causes \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR to gracefully terminate.

.SS "BRIDGE COMMANDS"
These commands manage bridges.
.IP "\fBfdb/show\fR \fIbridge\fR"
.SS "BOND COMMANDS"
These commands manage bonded ports on an Open vSwitch's bridges. To
understand some of these commands, it is important to understand a
-detail of the bonding implementation called ``MAC hashing.'' Instead
-of directly assigning Ethernet source addresses to slaves, the bonding
-implementation computes a function that maps an 48-bit Ethernet source
-addresses into an 8-bit value (a ``MAC hash'' value). All of the
-Ethernet addresses that map to a single 8-bit value are then assigned
-to a single slave.

Lists all of the bonds, and their slaves, on each bridge.

the time to completion of an updelay or downdelay if one is in
progress, whether it is the active slave, the MAC hashes assigned to
the slave, and the MAC learning table entries that hash to each MAC.
+Any LACP information related to this bond may be found using the
+\fBlacp/show\fR command.
.IP "\fBbond/migrate\fR \fIport\fR \fIhash\fR \fIslave\fR"
-Assigns a given MAC hash to a new slave. \fIport\fR specifies the
-bond port, \fIhash\fR either the MAC hash to be migrated (as a decimal
-number between 0 and 255) or an Ethernet address to be hashed, and
-\fIslave\fR the new slave to be assigned.
+Only valid for SLB bonds. Assigns a given MAC hash to a new slave.
+\fIport\fR specifies the bond port, \fIhash\fR the MAC hash to be
+migrated (as a decimal number between 0 and 255), and \fIslave\fR the
+new slave to be assigned.
.IP
The reassignment is not permanent: rebalancing or fail-over will
cause the MAC hash to be shifted to a new slave in the usual
.IP
This setting is not permanent: it persists only until the carrier
status of \fIslave\fR changes.
-.IP "\fBbond/hash\fR \fImac\fR"
-Returns the hash value which would be used for \fImac\fR.

+Returns the hash value which would be used for \fImac\fR with \fIvlan\fR
+and \fIbasis\fR if specified.

+.IP "\fBlacp/show\fR \fIport\fR"
+Lists all of the LACP related information about the given \fIport\fR:
+active or passive, aggregation key, system id, and system priority. Also
+lists information about each slave: whether it is enabled or disabled,
+whether it is attached or detached, port id and priority, actor
+information, and partner information.
