Configuring bridge
Users can create one or more bridges on a PICA8 switch. Note that each physical port can only be added to one bridge.
User can use command 'ovs-appctl pica/show' to show valid ports.

Create a Bridge
User can command "ovs-vsctl add-br <bridge> [-- set bridge br0 datapath_type=pica8]".
From PicOS2.6.5, due to the default datapath_type is pica8, so "-- set bridge br0 datapath_type=pica8" is optional.
root@PicOS-OV$ovs-vsctl add-br br0 -- set bridge br0 datapath_type=pica8 root@PicOS-OVS$ovs-vsctl add-br br1
Viewing the Bridge Settings
Use the show <bridge_name> command to view the bridge details.

Deleting the Bridge
To delete the bridge and its ports, use the del-port command, then the del-br <bridge_name> command.
root@PicOS-OVS$ovs-vsctl del-port br0 ge-1/1/1 root@PicOS-OVS$ovs-vsctl del-port br0 ge-1/1/2 root@PicOS-OVS$ovs-vsctl del-port br0 ge-1/1/3 root@PicOS-OVS$ovs-vsctl del-br br0
View software table flows
Normally,we view software table flows using below command without options.
admin@PicOS-OVS$ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0
And picos add a cli view to group flows into certain application categories (LLDP, VRRP, IP, Controller, Miscellaneous) or a user-configurable value from Picos 2.8.0. User can filter flows using the flow group name.
ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 --filter=<VRRP | LLDP | IPV4 | IPV6 | CONTROLLER | MISC>
You can use one filter or more.Â
For example:
admin@PicOS-OVS$ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 --filter=VRRP,LLDP,IPV4,IPV6,CONTROLLER,MISCÂ Â Â Â Â VRRP flows (count=1): Â flow_id=9, cookie=0x0, duration=64.268s, table=0, n_packets=n/a, n_bytes=0, priority=22016,ip,in_port=1,dl_dst=01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00,nw_proto=112 actions=output:2 Â LLDP flows (count=1): Â flow_id=6, cookie=0x0, duration=92.408s, table=0, n_packets=n/a, n_bytes=0, in_port=3,dl_dst=01:80:c2:00:00:0e,dl_type=0x88cc actions=output:4 Â IPV4 flows (count=2): Â flow_id=9, cookie=0x0, duration=64.268s, table=0, n_packets=n/a, n_bytes=0, priority=22016,ip,in_port=1,dl_dst=01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00,nw_proto=112 actions=output:2 Â flow_id=8, cookie=0x0, duration=72.908s, table=0, n_packets=n/a, n_bytes=0, ip,in_port=2,nw_dst=192.168.100.200 actions=CONTROLLER:65535 Â IPV6 flows (count=1): Â flow_id=10, cookie=0x0, duration=57.592s, table=0, n_packets=n/a, n_bytes=0, tcp6,in_port=3 actions=CONTROLLER:65535 Â Controller flows (count=2): Â flow_id=8, cookie=0x0, duration=72.908s, table=0, n_packets=n/a, n_bytes=0, ip,in_port=2,nw_dst=192.168.100.200 actions=CONTROLLER:65535 Â flow_id=10, cookie=0x0, duration=57.592s, table=0, n_packets=n/a, n_bytes=0, tcp6,in_port=3 actions=CONTROLLER:65535 Â MISC flows (count=1): Â flow_id=7, cookie=0x0, duration=80.295s, table=0, n_packets=n/a, n_bytes=0, priority=40000,in_port=3,dl_dst=01:80:c2:00:00:02,dl_type=0x8809 actions=set_field:00:00:00:00:22:33->eth_src,output:4 admin@PicOS-OVS$
Enable STP in bridge
Defaultly, STP is disabled in ovs mode. User can use following command to enable/disable STP in bridge.
ovs-vsctl set bridge <bridge> stp_enable=<true|false>
Example:
