NAME

       ovn-controller-vtep  -  Open  Virtual  Network  local controller for vtep enabled physical
       switches.

SYNOPSIS

       ovn-controller-vtep [options] [--vtep-db=vtep-database] [--ovnsb-db=ovnsb-database]

DESCRIPTION

       ovn-controller-vtep is the local controller daemon in OVN, the Open Virtual  Network,  for
       VTEP  enabled  physical  switches.  It  connects  up  to  the OVN Southbound database (see
       ovn-sb(5)) over the OVSDB protocol, and down to the VTEP database (see vtep(5))  over  the
       OVSDB protocol.

CONFIGURATION

       ovn-controller-vtep  retrieves  its  configuration information from both the ovnsb and the
       vtep database. If the database locations are not given from command line, the  default  is
       the  db.sock  in local OVSDB’s ’run’ directory. The datapath location must take one of the
       following forms:

              •      ssl:ip:port

                     The specified SSL port on the host at the given ip, which must be  expressed
                     as  an  IP address (not a DNS name) in IPv4 or IPv6 address format. If ip is
                     an IPv6 address, then wrap ip with square  brackets,  e.g.:  ssl:[::1]:6640.
                     The    --private-key,    --certificate    and   either   of   --ca-cert   or
                     --bootstrap-ca-cert options are mandatory when this form is used.

              •      tcp:ip:port

                     Connect to the given TCP port on ip, where ip can be IPv4 or  IPv6  address.
                     If  ip  is  an  IPv6  address,  then  wrap  ip  with  square brackets, e.g.:
                     tcp:[::1]:6640.

              •      unix:file

                     On POSIX, connect to the Unix domain server socket named file.

                     On Windows, connect to a localhost TCP port whose value is written in file.
