[ovs-discuss] simple open vswitch usage?

[Sergio Kviato]

Seems all ports connected. Please post output of "ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0"

Please post output of ovs-vsctl get-controller

Actually you can use and setup flows without external controller. For such thing use ovs-ofctl. If you setup external  controller it will be responsible for  control flows in OVS.

For instance, is it possible for a laptop with Open vSwitch and VirtualBox, to connect its virtual machine to the internet using a VBox host-only adapter bridged to wlan0, which is connected to the internet? How would I do this using ovs-vsctl?
