-README.Debian for openvswitch-switch
----------------------------------
-
-To use the Linux kernel-based switch implementation, you will need an
-Open vSwitch kernel module. There are multiple ways to obtain one.
-In order of increasing manual effort, these are:
-
- * Use a Linux kernel 3.3 or later, which has an integrated Open
- vSwitch kernel module.
-
- The upstream Linux kernel module lacks a few features that
- are in the third-party module. For details, please see the
- FAQ, "What features are not available in the Open vSwitch
- kernel datapath that ships as part of the upstream Linux
- kernel?".
-
- * Install the "openvswitch-datapath-dkms" Debian package that
- you built earlier. This should automatically build and
- install the Open vSwitch kernel module for your running
- kernel.
-
- This option requires that you have a compiler and toolchain
- installed on the machine where you run Open vSwitch, which
- may be unacceptable in some production server environments.
-
- * Install the "openvswitch-datapath-source" Debian package, use
- "module-assistant" to build a Debian package of the Open
- vSwitch kernel module for your kernel, and then install that
- Debian package.
-
- You can install the kernel module Debian packages that you
- build this way on the same machine where you built it or on
- another machine or machines, which means that you don't
- necessarily have to have any build infrastructure on the
- machines where you use the kernel module.
-
- /usr/share/doc/openvswitch-datapath-source/README.Debian has
- details on the build process.
-
- * Build and install the kernel module by hand.
