1 README.Debian for openvswitch-switch
2 ---------------------------------
4 * The switch must be configured before it can be used. To configure
5 it interactively, install the openvswitch-switch-config package and run
6 the ovs-switch-setup program. Alternatively, edit
7 /etc/default/openvswitch-switch by hand, then start the switch manually
8 with "/etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch start".
10 * To use the Linux kernel-based switch implementation, you will need
11 to build and install the Open vSwitch kernel module. To do so, install
12 the openvswitch-datapath-source package, then follow the instructions
13 given in /usr/share/doc/openvswitch-datapath-source/README.Debian
15 * This package does not yet support the userspace datapath-based
16 switch implementation.
