How to get an ovs port's mac address
|
Brady Johnson
Hello, I have a data change listener listening for changes to network-topology nodes. The listener successfully receives OVS Manager connections, OVS bridge creations, and OVS bridge port (TerminationPoint and OvsdbTerminationPointAugmentation) creations. When an OVS bridge port is created, I would also like to get the MAC address, but see that the MAC address is not available in the TerminationPoint, as follows: "termination-point": [ { "tp-id": "veth2-br", "ovsdb:ofport": 3, "ovsdb:port-uuid": "ddd3a8d3-29b0-40d3-9f25-21c976a19477", "ovsdb:ifindex": 10, "ovsdb:interface-uuid": "1ee602bd-2661-4dea-b4ed-03c0e6ea011e", "ovsdb:name": "veth2-br", "ovsdb:ingress-policing-rate": 0, "ovsdb:ingress-policing-burst": 0 }, I noticed that the MAC address is available in the Inventory node node-connector model, as follows, but is this the best approach? "node-connector": [ { "id": "openflow:222969675150665:2", "flow-node-inventory:hardware-address": "4a:c7:ce:4e:a6:a4", ... } FYI Im using OVS 2.8 and am not integrating ODL with OpenStack for this application.

Good catch Brady. Yes, we don't have it in OVSDB but should be easy enough to add. As per OVS Schema [1] I believe the field you're looking for is mac_in_use. Could you raise an enhancement request for this in Jira? Regards, Vishal.
