Openvswitch interface generation #18

Podden · 2020-06-02T15:52:53Z

Description of the problem

Installing the Driver does not install an openvswitch interface. The new LAN Interface cannot be used with virtual machine manager. Is there a command to activate or generate an "ovr_eth2" interface?

My current workaround is deinstalling virtual machine manager, disable and enable openvswitch again.

Please refer my this comment. (I should have written this comment here but I didn't notice that.)
#17 (comment)

Podden · 2020-11-04T13:50:16Z

Okay, I've managed to manually add a ovr_eth2 interface to my configuration via putty. I've used
ovs-vsctl add-br ovs_eth2
ovs-vsctl add-port ovs_eth2 eth2
and them manually added configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
after /etc/rc.network restart the interface shows up correctly in ifconfig, and I can see it in DSM (I can see it's ovs_eth2 and not eth2 because when I want to configure DHCP via DSM it says "The DHCP range of interfaces ovs_eth2 and eth2 are in conflict". I can work this out, but LAN3 (ovs_eth2) still does not show up in Virtual Machine Manager for selecting in the network tab :(. Would be thankful for any guesses

Podden · 2020-11-04T14:23:21Z

Okay, seems I had to wait a little bit. After fiddling around for a few minutes, pulling out and plugging in network cables and restarting interfaces, it finally shows up in Virtual Machine Manager. So no problem here anymore except for settings aren't stored after a DSM Update

Now I only got the hassle of Directory Server hard pulling it's DNS Server IP from LAN, deactivating the internal DNS settings completly, but thats another story....

AltB · 2020-12-10T00:28:20Z

On DS1515+ with 4 ethernet ports and the USB 2.5G dongle as 'eth4' with static IP:
I have tried ovs-vsctl add-br ovs_eth4 and ovs-vsctl add-port ovs_eth4 eth4 and added ifcfg-ovs_eth4 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts (ovs-vsctl add-br doesnt created it). Tried restart network, up eth4, restart virtualization service, etc.
The eth4 (USB dongle) works but never appears in 'Virtual Machine Manager' network!

An idea ?
Edit: Fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling Virtual Machine Manager : Weird...

disable and enable openvswitch trick doesn't work on DSM 7 any more.

riverscn · 2021-07-19T07:38:15Z

On DSM 7 I run these command and it works:

sudo ovs-vsctl add-br ovs_eth2
sudo ovs-vsctl add-port ovs_eth2 eth2
sudo ifconfig ovs_eth2 up

and then ifconfig

bb-qq · 2021-07-20T00:19:00Z

@riverscn , thank you for creating the PR to support OVS. I will try this.

Can anyone else try the script on the PR and help us verify that it works fine in various environments?

anhaehne · 2021-10-13T12:39:05Z

Is this script available for the aqc111 based network devices?

Edit: I've modified the aqc11 script with the changes in the r8152 script. Looks good so far.

anhaehne · 2021-11-12T12:47:19Z

I've tried the script now for a month and had no issues. All VM's have network access and the network connection is correctly reesteblished after reboots and hard resets.

bb-qq · 2021-11-13T05:32:32Z

Thank you for your report. I will merge this PR and release drivers for both platforms.

bb-qq · 2022-01-09T08:51:41Z

I released new releases that include this change.
https://github.com/bb-qq/aqc111/releases/tag/1.3.3.0-5

bb-qq · 2022-08-11T02:41:50Z

I close this issue since open vSwich support is working correctly.
