ovs\-vswitchd \- Open vSwitch daemon
.
.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B ovs\-vswitchd
-\fIdatabase\fR
+\fBovs\-vswitchd \fR[\fIdatabase\fR]
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
A daemon that manages and controls any number of Open vSwitch switches
on the local machine.
.PP
-The mandatory \fIdatabase\fR argument normally takes the form
-\fBunix:\fIfile\fR, where \fIfile\fR is the name of a Unix domain
-socket on which \fBovsdb\-server\fR is listening. However, all of the
-following forms are accepted:
+The \fIdatabase\fR argument specifies how \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR connects
+to \fBovsdb\-server\fR. The default is \fBunix:@RUNDIR@/db.sock\fR.
+The following forms are accepted:
.so ovsdb/remote-active.man
.so ovsdb/remote-passive.man
.PP
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
.SS "GENERAL COMMANDS"
.IP "\fBexit\fR"
Causes \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR to gracefully terminate.
+.IP "\fBcoverage/log\fR"
+Logs coverage counters at level warn.
+.IP "\fBqos/show\fR \fIinterface\fR"
+Queries the kernel for Quality of Service configuration and statistics
+associated with the given \fIinterface\fR.
+.IP "\fBcfm/show\fR [\fIinterface\fR]"
+Displays detailed information about Connectivity Fault Management
+configured on \fIinterface\fR. If \fIinterface\fR is not specified,
+then displays detailed information about all interfaces with CFM
+enabled.
+.IP "\fBcfm/set-fault\fR [\fIinterface\fR] \fIstatus\fR"
+Force the fault status of the CFM module on \fIinterface\fR (or all
+interfaces if none is given) to be \fIstatus\fR. \fIstatus\fR can be
+"true", "false", or "normal" which reverts to the standard behavior.
+.IP "\fBstp/tcn\fR [\fIbridge\fR]"
+Forces a topology change event on \fIbridge\fR if it's running STP. This
+may cause it to send Topology Change Notifications to its peers and flush
+its MAC table.. If no \fIbridge\fR is given, forces a topology change
+event on all bridges.
.SS "BRIDGE COMMANDS"
These commands manage bridges.
+.IP "\fBfdb/flush\fR [\fIbridge\fR]"
+Flushes \fIbridge\fR MAC address learning table, or all learning tables
+if no \fIbridge\fR is given.
.IP "\fBfdb/show\fR \fIbridge\fR"
Lists each MAC address/VLAN pair learned by the specified \fIbridge\fR,
along with the port on which it was learned and the age of the entry,
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"
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
.IP
This setting is not permanent: it persists only until the carrier
status of \fIslave\fR changes.
-.IP "\fBbond/hash\fR \fImac\fR [\fIvlan\fR]"
+.IP "\fBbond/hash\fR \fImac\fR [\fIvlan\fR] [\fIbasis\fR]"
Returns the hash value which would be used for \fImac\fR with \fIvlan\fR
-if specified.
+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. If \fIport\fR is not specified,
+then displays detailed information about all interfaces with CFM
+enabled.
