- ovs-dpctl:
- Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
the "add-if" command.
+ - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
+ if only one datapath exists.
- ovs-appctl:
- New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
- The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
numbers. An ofproto implementation should assign them when
port_construct() is called.
+ - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
+ datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system". The ovs-dpctl
+ commands will now return information on that shared datapath. To
+ get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
+ "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
- The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
concerns.
