Re: [Xen-users] openvswitch gre tunnel

[C V <rayvittal-lists@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, something like this works (xapi1 is a host-only network created by xe 
network-create)
HOST1=192.168.152.22
HOST2=192.168.152.23
intf=$(ovs-vsctl create interface name=gre0 type=gre 
options:remote_ip=${HOST2}) 

port=$(ovs-vsctl create port name=gre0 interfaces=[${intf}] )
ovs-vsctl add bridge xapi1 ports ${port}
ifconfig xapi1 10.1.1.2/24
#repeat on HOST2
ifconfig xapi1 10.1.1.3/24
ping 10.1.1.2

Hi CV,

The GRE tunnels require an openvswitch controller - do you have access to one? 
I 
believe the open-source 'nox' doesn't have the required functionality yet. 
Unfortunately in the current design, xapi doesn't have the abilities to 
configure the vswitches, and relies on the controller - so this particular 
feature is really only there to enable a controller to set up these tunnels, 
rather than a complete implementation.

If you just want to set up the tunnels manually, you can do so using the ovs 
commands on the hosts - the documentation is not great unfortunately, but as I 
understand, the ovs mailing list is a good source of info.

Sorry to not be of more help,

Jon
