Identifying ports on the virtual switch

Using the ovs-ofctl show br-int command, we can see a logical representation of the integration bridge. The following screenshot demonstrates the use of this command to show the switch ports of the integration bridge on compute02:

The following are the components demonstrated in the preceding screenshot:

  • Port number 1 is named int-br-eth2 and is one end of an OVS patch cable. The other end connects to the provider bridge, br-eth2 (not shown).
  • Port number 2 is named patch-tun and is one end of an OVS patch cable. The other end connects to the tunnel bridge, br-tun (not pictured).
  • Port number 3 is named qvo3de035cc-79 and corresponds to Neutron port 3de035cc-79a9-4172-bb25-d4a7ea96325e.
  • Port number 4 is named qvoce30da31-3aa and corresponds to Neutron port ce30da31-3a71-4c60-a350-ac0453b24d7d.
  • Port number 5 is named qvoa943af89-8e and corresponds to Neutron port a943af89-8e21-4b1d-877f-abe946f6e565.
  • The LOCAL port named br-int is used internally by Open vSwitch and can be ignored.

The following screenshot demonstrates the switch configuration in a graphical manner:
