# ovs-vsctl show 41d09907-b8ac-4000-817c-41571e987aea    Bridge "br0"        Port "br0"            Interface "br0"                type: internal        Port "eth0"            Interface "eth0"    ovs_version: "1.10.2"

install floodlight and run.

# git clone git://github.com/floodlight/floodlight.git # cd floodlight/ # ant Buildfile: /home/hattori/Git_works/floodlight/build.xml init:    [mkdir] Created dir: /home/hattori/Git_works/floodlight/target/bin    [mkdir] Created dir: /home/hattori/Git_works/floodlight/target/bin-test    [mkdir] Created dir: /home/hattori/Git_works/floodlight/target/lib BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 19 seconds # # java -jar target/floodlight.jar 01:43:37.754 INFO [n.f.c.m.FloodlightModuleLoader:main] Loading default modules 01:43:38.359 INFO [n.f.c.i.Controller:main] Controller role set to MASTER 01:43:38.367 INFO [n.f.c.i.Controller:main] Flush switches on reconnect -- Disabled

set controller

# ovs-vsctl set-controller br0 tcp:127.0.0.1 # ovs-vsctl show 41d09907-b8ac-4000-817c-41571e987aea    Bridge "br0"    Controller "tcp:127.0.0.1"            is_connected: true        Port "br0"            Interface "br0"                type: internal        Port "eth0"            Interface "eth0"    ovs_version: "1.10.2"

start a VM which is using br0.

virsh # start ubuntu1310-vm1

Here is xml file of the VM.

virsh # dumpxml ubuntu1310-vm1   <interface type='bridge'>      <mac address=''/>      <source bridge='br0'/>      <virtualport type='openvswitch'>        <parameters interfaceid='3a76a16f-3478-47b9-8783-798b655a6f6c'/>      </virtualport>      <target dev='vnet0'/>
