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.
