Re: [Xen-users] How to use "xe tunnel-create" to create GRE tunnel?



Hi Rob:
    Cloud you kindly point me which part of API is responsible for flow controller?
    I searched java doc of FP1 beta API, only got "setVswitchController" and "getVswitchController", not see OpenFlow relevant API.
    Thank you very much.

The controller I am talking about is part of XS 5.6 FP1 (Advanced Edition or higher), which is released by Citrix very soon, and was also included in the beta. This controller uses OpenFlow for setting up ACL rules etc, and another, Open vSwitch specific, protocol to create GRE tunnel ports remotely.

  What "controller" means here? is it an openflow controller or
controller made by xensource?
as I know, openflow standard has no definition for creating a GRE
tunnel.
thank you

Hi Frank,

You need to connect the Open vSwitch Controller that came with XS 5.6
FP1 beta to your pool. The controller sees the tunnels that you create
by the xe commands (as you did), and will create the GRE ports on the
vSwitches for you.
Regards,
Rob

  Hi,
     In XenServer5.6 FP1 beta, I have switched default bridge to
open
vswitch, I wonder how to use "xe tunnel-create" to create a GRE
tunnel.
my commands:

xe tunnel-create pif-uuid=eth0_uuid
network-uuid=network_created_by_xe_network_create

then I got an uuid which is "access-PIF" of output from "xe tunnel-
list".
what should I do next? how to set remote_ip and GRE type and GRE key?

I already know how to do these by open vswitch, I just want to use
xe
command do same things.

than kyou.
