[Tutorial] ovsdbmonitor GUI 設定步驟 (setup procedure)

The following steps are the setup procedure for running ovsdbmonitor GUI

(You have to make sure that your "PYTHONPATH" contains the path of openvswitch source path/python. )

   

1. 增加PYTHONPATH到 .bashrc

for example:
PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/home/liudanny/Source/openvswitch-1.2.2/python/"
Export PYTHONPATH

2. 增加一個symbolic link for ovsdb-client
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ovsdb-client /usr/bin/ovsdb-client

3. 執行ovsdbmonitor
“your openswitch path”/ovsdb/ovsdbmonitor/ovsdbmonitor

4. 設定Host Properties:
Host name or IP: your openvswitch host
SSH Password: ***
Connect target: unix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
＊     這個connect target 會與 啟動ovsdb-server daemon 的參數有相關 ＊

          sudo ovsdb-server --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock \

                    --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,manager_options \

                    --private-key=db:SSL,private_key \

                    --certificate=db:SSL,certificate \

                    --bootstrap-ca-cert=db:SSL,ca_cert \

                    --pidfile --detach
