Hello all, I am trying to configure ovs bridges and ports through networkmanager cli. When I execute the commands the status I get is successful but when I run the ovs-vsctl show Now bridges are configured. I assume that I need a NetworkManager-ovs plugin like this [0] but I cannot find something similar for Ubuntu systems. If there is no plugin package for debian based systems can somebody point to the source code for this plugin and i will try to build it form source.
Hi,
You don't mention which Ubuntu version. But regardless of that, Ubuntu
packages don't seem to include the OVS plugin ("libnm-device-plugin-
ovs.so").
These device plugins don't have a stable ABI. That means, you usually
also need to build a matching NetworkManager (or, take very very good
care that the NetworkManager you run is ABI compatible with the plugin.
But no, just rebuild NetworkManager too).
I would suggest you rebuild the Ubuntu source package, and adjust the
package to include the OVS plugin. I don't know how to do that, but
this is more a general Ubuntu packaging question.
For autotools, you'd pass `--enable-ovs` to `./configure`.
For meson, it's -Dovs=true
Otherwise, it's all part of core NM at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/
best,
Thomas
