NAME
ifcfg-ovs-bridge - openvswitch bridge configuration
SYNOPSIS

CONFIGURATION
To setup an ovs bridge interface you need a configuration file
ifcfg-<interface-name>with the usual network settings. But you must add additional variables:
- OVS_BRIDGE <yes|no>
- This option must be set to 'yes' to identify this interface as ovs bridge interface.
- OVS_BRIDGE_PORT_DEVICE[suffix] <port device name>
- This suffix variable contains the names of port devices to enslave into the bridge,each port suffix has to be a unique keyword, e.g. _1 .. _N.
- OVS_BRIDGE_VLAN_PARENT <parent device name>
- Permits to create a ``fake bridge`` refering to the ``parent bridge`` with implicitVLAN on the ports of the ``parent bridge``.
- OVS_BRIDGE_VLAN_TAG <vlan tag>
- The 802.1Q VLAN tag or ID used to filter traffic for the ``fake bridge`` on portsof the ``parent bridge``.
EXAMPLE
Minimal example for a ovs bridge interface on eth2 and eth3, the bridge interfaceitself is configured via dhcp:
ifcfg-ovsbr0
STARTMODE='auto' BOOTPROTO='dhcp' OVS_BRIDGE='yes' OVS_BRIDGE_PORT_DEVICE_2='eth2' OVS_BRIDGE_PORT_DEVICE_3='eth3'
