There is no special configuration for the virtualbox virtual machine, except selecting the proper interface for “Bridged Adapter” for Virtual Machine “Network Adapter”. In order to test connectivity between the virtual switch with the virtual machine, put IP address on the datapath or bridge interfaces (acting as management IP address) sudo ifconfig br1 172.16.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up TX packets:613058 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:636440 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr e8:39:df:c5:ae:e0 TX packets:407456 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:407456 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 Interrupt:43 lo Link encap:Local Loopback TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:4694 (4.6 KB) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:6c:85:d6:e1 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 TX packets:21 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Link/ether 76:94:b8:8e:e1:da brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ifconfigīr1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 92:91:cd:57:bc:4f Link/ether 92:91:cd:57:bc:4f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffġ6: vnet0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 500 15: br1: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN Link/ether e8:39:df:c5:ae:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff sudo ip linkġ: lo: mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN Make sure the datapath or bridge and interfaces are up using these following commands. sudo ovs-vsctl add-br sudo ip tuntap add mode tap sudo ip link set vnet0 sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br0 sudo ifconfig br1 up These following commands will create datapath or bridge called as “br1” and virtual interface called as “vnet0”. The first step to configure the switch is preparing the datapath or bridge for virtual interfaces from the virtual machines.
Bridge virtualbox linux install#
sudo apt-get install openvswitch-brcompat openvswitch-common openvswitch-controllerĪfter the installation finish, the controller will be automatically run using default TCP port number and certificate. In order to enhance the functionality of the Open vSwitch some additional packages can be installed such as “openvswitch-brcompat” for linux bridge compatibility configuration and “openvswitch-controller” for adding controller function in the same hosts. sudo apt-get install openvswitch-datapath-source bridge-utils sudo module-assistant auto-install openvswitch-datapath The mandatory package such as Open vSwitch datapath can be installed using this following command. There are some mandatory packages need to be install but there are some additional fitur which can be installed to utilize the Open vSwitch. Open vSwitch also can be installed very easily through Ubuntu Repository Server using aptitude tools.

wget -q -O- | sudo apt-key add –Īfter key installation success, please repeat DKMS and VirtualBox installing command So, the key need to be install manually using this command below. If there is any error because of signatures error from VirtualBox website W: GPG error: precise InRelease: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 54422A4B98AB5139
