Veth Pair

This role creates a veth pair. It will plug one end into the specified OVS bridge and, optionally, can plug the other end into a source Linux bridge.

Requirements

The host should have the ip and ovs-vsctl commands accessible. If veth_pair_plug_into_source is enabled, the command brctl must also be accessible.

Role Variables

  • veth_pair_ovs_link_name: The name to give the veth link that plugs into the OVS bridge.
  • veth_pair_ovs_bridge: The name of the OVS bridge to plug into.
  • veth_pair_source_link_name: The name to give the veth link that plugs into the source device.
  • veth_pair_source_bridge: The name of the source Linux bridge to plug into. Must be specified if and only if plug_into_source is enabled.
  • plug_into_source: Whether or not to plug the source end of the veth pair into a Linux bridge. If enabled, source_bridge, source_bridge must also be specified. Default is false.
