Openvswitch

j.sal.openvswitch

This library enables the user to configure the network by doing the followig:

• Creating a new bridge, vlan bridge and vxlan bridge

j.sal.openvswitch.newBridge(name, interface)
j.sal.openvswitch.newVlanBridge(name, parentbridge, vlanid, mtu)
    # mtu is an optional variable which defines the Maximum Transmission Unit of the new Vlan Bridge with a default of 1500
j.sal.openvswitch.createVXLanBridge(networkid, backend, bridgename)

• Configuring an interface with a static address

j.sal.openvswitch.configureStaticAddress(interfacename, ipaddr, gateway)

• Get an interface type from its name

j.sal.openvswitch.getType()

• Resetting of an interface to the default configurations

j.sal.openvswitch.initNetworkInterfaces()

• Creating a new bonded backplane

j.sal.openvswitch.newBondedBackplane(name, interfaces, trunks):

• Setting and configuring a backplane

j.sal.openvswitch.setBackplane(interfacename, backplanename, ipaddr, gateway)
j.sal.openvswitch.setBackplaneDhcp(interfacename, backplanename)
j.sal.openvswitch.setBackplaneNoAddress(interfacename, backplanename)
j.sal.openvswitch.setBackplaneNoAddressWithBond(bondname, bondinterfaces, backplanename)
j.sal.openvswitch.setBackplaneWithBond(bondname, bondinterfaces, backplanename, ipaddr, gateway)

• Get all network configurations from the system

j.sal.openvswitch.getConfigFromSystem(reload)
    # reload is an optional boolean variable
