Why the OVS network type disappeared from EVE-NG? I mean not only for connecting to external world but also for simulation "bare wire" connections. To give an example, for specific setups using latest UNL, can't use the "bridge" construct - it will discard multicast and won't work in promiscuous mode - that's expected behavior for a LInux bridge - therefore was using "OVS" network as bridges to address these issues. I understand that a "raw" pnet could be defined on top of a physical interface but this does not solve the standalone OVS bridge issue. Is there any way to re-enable the OVS support in EVE-NG?

EVE bridge interface has all functions like OVS, thats why its gone...
So use bridge instead.

Hi

I'm sorry but the underlying construct for the EVE-NG "bridge" is the same as for the UNL bridge i.e. the standard Linux bridge which cause so much trouble e.g. with multicast and spanned traffic.
Now is there a way to add back the UNL code that was relying on pre-configured OVS net<n>_<m> interfaces ?

Thnx for advising

Hi,

Post a problem with current linux bridge implementation.
And show me the method you use with ovs to resolve your issue....
