[Xen-users] How to use "xe tunnel-create" to create GRE tunnel?

Hi,
     In XenServer5.6 FP1 beta, I have switched default bridge to open 
vswitch, I wonder how to use "xe tunnel-create" to create a GRE
tunnel.

my commands:

xe tunnel-create pif-uuid=eth0_uuid 
network-uuid=network_created_by_xe_network_create

then I got an uuid which is "access-PIF" of output from "xe
tunnel-list".

what should I do next? how to set remote_ip and GRE type and GRE key?

I already know how to do these by open vswitch, I just want to use xe 
command do same things.

than kyou.

Re: [Xen-users] How to use "xe tunnel-create" to create GRE tunnel?

Hi Frank,

You need to connect the Open vSwitch Controller that came with XS 5.6 FP1 beta
to your pool. The controller sees the tunnels that you create by the xe commands
(as you did), and will create the GRE ports on the vSwitches for you.

Regards,
Rob

Re: [Xen-users] How to use "xe tunnel-create" to create GRE tunnel?

What "controller" means here? is it an openflow controller or 
controller made by xensource?
as I know, openflow standard has no definition for creating a GRE tunnel.
thank you

RE: [Xen-users] How to use "xe tunnel-create" to create GRE tunnel?

The controller I am talking about is part of XS 5.6 FP1 (Advanced Edition or
higher), which is released by Citrix very soon, and was also included in the
beta. This controller uses OpenFlow for setting up ACL rules etc, and another,
Open vSwitch specific, protocol to create GRE tunnel ports remotely.

Re: [Xen-users] How to use "xe tunnel-create" to create GRE tunnel?

Hi Rob:
     Cloud you kindly point me which part of API is responsible for flow 
controller?
     I searched java doc of FP1 beta API, only got 
"setVswitchController" and "getVswitchController", not see
OpenFlow
relevant API.
     Thank you very much.

RE: [Xen-users] How to use "xe tunnel-create" to create GRE tunnel?

Hi Frank,

The XenAPI calls related to PIFs, VIFs, and Networks serve the same purpose no
matter whether the linux bridging or the open vswitch backend is in use. These
calls are used to create and configure (virtual) interfaces, bridges/vswitches
and networks.

The XenAPI does not do anything with OpenFlow. Everything OpenFlow related is
done by the vswitch controller, which talks directly to the vswitches inside the
hosts in your pool. ACL rules, for example, can be defined in the web GUI of the
controller.

Cheers,
Rob
