ovs\-vswitchd \- Open vSwitch daemon

.
.SH DESCRIPTION
-A daemon that manages and controls any number of Open vSwitch switches
+A daemon that manages and controls any number of Open vSwitch switches
on the local machine.
.PP
The mandatory \fIdatabase\fR argument normally takes the form
\fBunix:\fIfile\fR, where \fIfile\fR is the name of a Unix domain
-socket on which \fBovsdb-server\fR is listening. However, all of the
+socket on which \fBovsdb\-server\fR is listening. However, all of the
following forms are accepted:
.so ovsdb/remote-active.man
.so ovsdb/remote-passive.man
Upon receipt of a SIGHUP signal, \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR reopens its log
file, if one was specified on the command line.

+\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR switches may be configured with any of the following
features:
.
.IP \(bu
A single \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR can manage any number of switch instances, up
to the maximum number of supported Open vSwitch datapaths.
.PP
+\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR provides all the features of \fBovs-openflowd\fR,
+and more. Do not run both daemons at the same time.
+.PP
\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR does all the necessary management of Open vSwitch datapaths
itself. Thus, external tools, such \fBovs\-dpctl\fR(8), are not needed for
managing datapaths in conjunction with \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR, and their use
the Open vSwitch kernel module.

.SH OPTIONS
-.IP "\fB--mlockall\fR"
+.IP "\fB\-\-mlockall\fR"
Causes \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR to call the \fBmlockall()\fR function, to
attempt to lock all of its process memory into physical RAM,
preventing the kernel from paging any of its memory to disk. This
\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR emits a log message if \fBmlockall()\fR is
unavailable or unsuccessful.
.
-.IP "\fB--fake-proc-net\fR"
+.IP "\fB\-\-fake\-proc\-net\fR"
Causes \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR to simulate some files in \fB/proc/net/vlan\fR
and \fB/proc/net/bonding\fR that some legacy software expects to
exist. This option should only be used if such legacy software is
.IP
This command might be useful for debugging OpenFlow controller issues.
.
-.IP "\fBbridge/dump-flows\fR \fIbridge\fR"
+.IP "\fBbridge/dump\-flows\fR \fIbridge\fR"
Lists all flows in \fIbridge\fR, including those normally hidden to
-commands such as \fBovs-ofctl dump-flows\fR. Flows set up by mechanisms
+commands such as \fBovs\-ofctl dump\-flows\fR. Flows set up by mechanisms
such as in-band control and fail-open are hidden from the controller
since it is not allowed to modify or override them.

the slave, and the MAC learning table entries that hash to each MAC.
.IP "\fBbond/migrate\fR \fIport\fR \fIhash\fR \fIslave\fR"
Assigns a given MAC hash to a new slave. \fIport\fR specifies the
-bond port, \fIhash\fR either the MAC hash to be migrated (as a decimal
-number between 0 and 255) or an Ethernet address to be hashed, and
-\fIslave\fR the new slave to be assigned.
+bond port, \fIhash\fR the MAC hash to be migrated (as a decimal
+number between 0 and 255), and \fIslave\fR the new slave to be
+assigned.
.IP
The reassignment is not permanent: rebalancing or fail-over will
cause the MAC hash to be shifted to a new slave in the usual
manner.
.IP
A MAC hash cannot be migrated to a disabled slave.
-.IP "\fBbond/set-active-slave\fR \fIport\fR \fIslave\fR"
+.IP "\fBbond/set\-active\-slave\fR \fIport\fR \fIslave\fR"
Sets \fIslave\fR as the active slave on \fIport\fR. \fIslave\fR must
currently be enabled.
.IP
The setting is not permanent: a new active slave will be selected
if \fIslave\fR becomes disabled.
-.IP "\fBbond/enable-slave\fR \fIport\fR \fIslave\fR"
-.IQ "\fBbond/disable-slave\fR \fIport\fR \fIslave\fR"
+.IP "\fBbond/enable\-slave\fR \fIport\fR \fIslave\fR"
+.IQ "\fBbond/disable\-slave\fR \fIport\fR \fIslave\fR"
Enables (or disables) \fIslave\fR on the given bond \fIport\fR, skipping any
updelay (or downdelay).
.IP
This setting is not permanent: it persists only until the carrier
status of \fIslave\fR changes.
-.IP "\fBbond/hash\fR \fImac\fR"
-Returns the hash value which would be used for \fImac\fR.
+.IP "\fBbond/hash\fR \fImac\fR [\fIvlan\fR]"
+Returns the hash value which would be used for \fImac\fR with \fIvlan\fR
+if specified.
