Openvswitch /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br-ex setting

Hi masters,

I would install openstack kilo multi-node in SLE 12, and I have encountered problem when I prepare the settings for ovs.

There two ifcfg needed for the openvswitch for the openstack br-ex using, ifcfg-br-ex, ifcfg-eth0(which to be used external int for VM instance).

I set the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br-ex follow the forum thread that can only one be found about ovs.

BOOTPROTO=‘static’
BROADCAST=’’
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=’’
BRIDGE=‘yes’
BRIDGE_PORTS= ‘eth0 br-ex’
IPADDR=‘192.168.2.51’
MTU=’’
NAME=’’
NETMASK=‘255.255.255.0’
NETWORK=’’
REMOTE_IPADDR=’’
STARTMODE=‘hotplug’
#DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE=‘yes’
ONBOOT=‘yes’

and set /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0

BOOTPROTO=‘none’
#BROADCAST=’’
#ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=’’
#IPADDR=‘192.168.2.51’
#MTU=’’
#NAME=’’
#NETMASK=‘255.255.255.0’
#NETWORK=’’
#REMOTE_IPADDR=’’
STARTMODE=‘auto’
#DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE=‘yes’
#ONBOOT=‘yes’

But it not work after service network restart, can’t ping other IP in same subnet.

I had tried another setting the official document provide, but not work too.

I have some experience of openstack kilo deploying in RHEL(SL, Centos)7, but suse’s ifcfg-br-ex seems not like RHEL’s.

Please help me to get the correct ifcfg, or give me some reference.

We are extremely grateful for any reply.

Does no one install openstack/openvswitch in SLE 12?

Please just share your ifcfg-br-ex and ifcfg-eth0(which port is ovs binded).

Both your posts say SLE 12, which is ambiguous. Are you using SLED or SLES? openvswitch looks like the sort of thing I’d expect to see on a server not a desktop.

If you’re using SLES you might get some responses if you post in the SLES forum https://forums.suse.com/forumdisplay.php?8-SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Server

Sorry, I think I misunderstand the distinction between “server” and “desktop” in SLE.

I had thought Desktop is with Gnome UI, Server is without Gnome…like ubuntu.

I will re post the question in SLES part, thanks for your mention.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop are two different products. They share a common base, but they’re distinct products.

I’m not sure what you mean with your reference to Ubuntu, but Ubuntu also has server and desktop versions.

The Server edition of Ubuntu doesn’t include “desktop” packages such as
X, Gnome, or KDE and it’s not recommended to add a GUI to it.

HTH.
