-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.

The mandatory \fIdatabase\fR argument normally takes the form
Upon receipt of a SIGHUP signal, \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR reopens its log
file, if one was specified on the command line.

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 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.

The reassignment is not permanent: rebalancing or fail-over will
cause the MAC hash to be shifted to a new slave in the usual

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.

+Returns the hash value which would be used for \fImac\fR with \fIvlan\fR
