.IP "\fB\-\-no\-wait\fR"
Prevents \fBovs\-vsctl\fR from waiting for \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR to
reconfigure itself according to the the modified database. This
not used, \fBovs\-vsctl\fR uses a timeout of five seconds.
(A timeout would normally happen only if the database cannot be contacted.)

.SH COMMANDS
Creates on \fIbridge\fR a new port named \fIport\fR from the network
device of the same name.
.
-.IP "\fBadd\-bond \fIbridge port iface\fR\&..."
+.IP "[\fB\-\-fake\-iface\fR] \fBadd\-bond \fIbridge port iface\fR\&..."
Creates on \fIbridge\fR a new port named \fIport\fR that bonds
together the network devices given as each \fIiface\fR. At least two
interfaces must be named.
+.IP
+With \fB\-\-fake\-iface\fR, a fake interface with the name \fIport\fR is
+created. This should only be used for compatibility with legacy
+software that requires it.

.IP "[\fB\-\-if\-exists\fR] \fBdel\-port \fR[\fIbridge\fR] \fIport\fR"
Deletes \fIport\fR. If \fIbridge\fR is omitted, \fIport\fR is removed
