.IP "\fB\-\-db=\fIserver\fR"
Sets \fIserver\fR as the database server that \fBovs\-vsctl\fR
contacts to query or modify configuration. The default is
-\fBunix:@RUNDIR@/ovsdb\-server\fR. \fIserver\fR must take one of the
+\fBunix:@RUNDIR@/db.sock\fR. \fIserver\fR must take one of the
following forms:
.RS
.so ovsdb/remote-active.man
+.so ovsdb/remote-passive.man
.RE
.
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-wait\fR"
not used, \fBovs\-vsctl\fR uses a timeout of five seconds.
(A timeout would normally happen only if the database cannot be contacted.)
.
+.SS "Public Key Infrastructure Options"
.so lib/ssl.man
.so lib/vlog.man
.
Lists all of the ports within \fIbridge\fR on standard output, one per
line. The local port \fIbridge\fR is not included in the list.
.
-.IP "[\fB\-\-may\-exist\fR] \fBadd\-port \fIbridge port\fR"
+.IP "[\fB\-\-may\-exist\fR] \fBadd\-port \fIbridge port \fR[\fIcolumn\fR[\fB:\fIkey\fR]\fR=\fIvalue\fR]\&...\fR"
Creates on \fIbridge\fR a new port named \fIport\fR from the network
device of the same name.
.IP
+Optional arguments set values of column in the Port record created by
+the command. For example, \fBtag=9\fR would make the port an access
+port for VLAN 9. The syntax is the same as that for the \fBset\fR
+command (see \fBDatabase Commands\fR below).
+.IP
Without \fB\-\-may\-exist\fR, attempting to create a port that exists
is an error. With \fB\-\-may\-exist\fR, \fIport\fR may already exist
(but it must be on \fIbridge\fR and not be a bonded port).
.
-.IP "[\fB\-\-fake\-iface\fR] \fBadd\-bond \fIbridge port iface\fR\&..."
+.IP "[\fB\-\-fake\-iface\fR] \fBadd\-bond \fIbridge port iface\fR\&... [\fIcolumn\fR[\fB:\fIkey\fR]\fR=\fIvalue\fR]\&...\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
+Optional arguments set values of column in the Port record created by
+the command. The syntax is the same as that for the \fBset\fR command
+(see \fBDatabase Commands\fR below).
+.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.
.PP
Names of tables, records, and columns are not case-sensitive, and
\fB--\fR and \fB_\fR are treated interchangeably. Unique
-abbreviations are acceptable, e.g. \fBnet\fR or \fRn\fR is sufficient
+abbreviations are acceptable, e.g. \fBnet\fR or \fBn\fR is sufficient
to identify the \fBNetFlow\fR table.
.
.ST "Database Values"
or empty map, as appropriate. This command applies only to columns
that are allowed to be empty.
.
-.IP "create \fItable column\fR[\fB:\fIkey\fR]\fB=\fIvalue\fR..."
+.IP "\fBcreate\fR \fItable column\fR[\fB:\fIkey\fR]\fB=\fIvalue\fR..."
Creates a new record in \fItable\fR and sets the initial values of
each \fIcolumn\fR. Columns not explicitly set will receive their
default values. Outputs the UUID of the new row.
