* openvswitch: document missing optionsStijn Tintel2021-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | Commit 1038ac123558 ("openvswitch: add support for definining bridge ports...") added two new options: - drop_unknown_ports - ports They are missing from the README, so add them. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel <stijn@linux-ipv6.be>
* openvswitch: add option for failure modeStijn Tintel2021-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When Open vSwitch is configured to use a controller, but is unable to connect to it, Open vSwitch will setup flows to allow all traffic, if the failure mode is not configured, or set to standalone. As this might be a security hazard, it is also possible to configure Open vSwitch in a secure failure mode. Enabling this mode causes Open vSwitch to drop all traffic if it is unable to connect to the controller. Redirect stderr of the command to /dev/null as it does not support the --if-exists option.

* openvswitch: add option for OpenFlow datapath descStijn Tintel2021-09-22
| | | | | | | | Add a UCI config option to set the OpenFlow datapath description. This allows setting a human readable description of the bridge, e.g. "Building x, Floor y, AP z", which makes it easier to recognize the AP. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel <stijn@linux-ipv6.be>
* openvswitch: add SSL supportStijn Tintel2021-07-29
| | | | | | | | Open vSwitch supports SSL to connect to an OpenFlow controller. This is recommended for security. Expand the UCI ovs config section to allow configuring SSL CA, certificate and private key. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel <stijn@linux-ipv6.be>
* openvswitch: support setting OpenFlow datapath IDStijn Tintel2021-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, Open vSwitch will generate the OpenFlow datapath ID of a bridge based on the MAC address of one of its ports. Due to this, it's possible that the datapath ID changes when new ports are added. When the datapath ID changes, Open vSwitch disconnects from the controller, as there is no way to notify the controller that the datapath ID has changed. Add an option to set the datapath ID so that the above situation can be avoided. The option takes either exactly 16 hex characters, or when prefixed with 0x, between 1 and 16 hex characters.

* openvswitch: allow complex port configurationsStijn Tintel2021-07-23
| | | | | | | | | The current way to add ports to an Open vSwitch bridge does not allow complex port configurations. Use a dedicated uci config section per port instead of the current port:type syntax. This way we can easily support more features like setting the VLAN tag or the OpenFlow port number.

* openvswitch: adds new UCI section ovs_bridgeSimon Kinane2020-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | This new config section in package openvswitch supports creating a named bridge, and setting its' OpenFlow controller end-point. An example config is included in /rom/etc/config/openvswitch Signed-off-by: Simon Kinane <skinane@fb.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Open vSwitch 2.10 introduces meters support to the kernel datapath. In upstream Linux, the feature is only available since 4.15 This is mainly for make the newly introduced meter features in linux kernel datapath more easily available root@OpenWrt:/# ovs-ofctl -OOpenFlow13 meter-features br0 OFPST_METER_FEATURES reply (OF1.3) (xid=0x2): max_meter:4294967295 max_bands:1 max_color:0 band_types: drop capabilities: kbps pktps burst stats root@OpenWrt:/# Size comparison between in-tree and upstreamed modules are attached 2800 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch-geneve-intree/lib/modules/4.14.67/vport-geneve.ko 2736 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch-geneve/lib/modules/4.14.67/vport-geneve.ko 2596 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch-gre-intree/lib/modules/4.14.67/vport-gre.ko 2536 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch-gre/lib/modules/4.14.67/vport-gre.ko 288320 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch-intree/lib/modules/4.14.67/openvswitch.ko 118984 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch/lib/modules/4.14.67/openvswitch.ko 2792 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch-lisp-intree/lib/modules/4.14.67/vport-lisp.ko 2788 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch-stt-intree/lib/modules/4.14.67/vport-stt.ko 3668 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch-vxlan-intree/lib/modules/4.14.67/vport-vxlan.ko 3400 Sep 5 08:47 ipkg-mips_24kc/kmod-openvswitch-vxlan/lib/modules/4.14.67/vport-vxlan.ko Signed-off-by: Yousong Zhou <yszhou4tech@gmail.com>

* openvswitch: rework packagingYousong Zhou2018-06-04
New scheme mainly provides three packages: openvswitch, openvswitch-ovn-north, openvswitch-ovn-controller. These should fit most usage scenarios. Other subpackages like openvswitch-libXXX etc. are there for dependency management and are hidden from the menu. Many python and shell scripts are removed in this revision. Most of them cannot run out of box at all for lack of dependencies. Others being legacy ones are not that useful now. Add them back at later time when real need appears Below are a simple listing of additions - initscript now incorporate also ovn north and controller support - ovn-ctl and ovs-ctl can be invoked directly from within $PATH Signed-off-by: Yousong Zhou <yszhou4tech@gmail.com>
