4 <p>ovn-controller-vtep -- Open Virtual Network local controller for

15 <code>ovn-controller-vtep</code> is the local controller daemon in
16 OVN, the Open Virtual Network, for VTEP enabled physical switches.
17 It connects up to the OVN Southbound database (see
18 <code>ovn-sb</code>(5)) over the OVSDB protocol, and down to the VTEP
19 database (see <code>vtep</code>(5)) over the OVSDB protocol.
22 <h1>Configuration</h1>
24 <code>ovn-controller-vtep</code> retrieves its configuration
25 information from both the ovnsb and the vtep database. If the
26 database locations are not given from command line, the default
27 is the <code>db.sock</code> in local OVSDB's 'run' directory.
28 The datapath location must take one of the following forms:
33 <code>ssl:<var>ip</var>:<var>port</var></code>
36 The specified SSL <var>port</var> on the host at the given
37 <var>ip</var>, which must be expressed as an IP address (not a DNS
38 name) in IPv4 or IPv6 address format. If <var>ip</var> is an IPv6
39 address, then wrap <var>ip</var> with square brackets, e.g.:
40 <code>ssl:[::1]:6640</code>. The <code>--private-key</code>,
41 <code>--certificate</code> and either of <code>--ca-cert</code>
42 or <code>--bootstrap-ca-cert</code> options are mandatory when this
48 <code>tcp:<var>ip</var>:<var>port</var></code>
51 Connect to the given TCP <var>port</var> on <var>ip</var>, where
52 <var>ip</var> can be IPv4 or IPv6 address. If <var>ip</var> is an
53 IPv6 address, then wrap <var>ip</var> with square brackets, e.g.:
54 <code>tcp:[::1]:6640</code>.
59 <code>unix:<var>file</var></code>
62 On POSIX, connect to the Unix domain server socket named
66 On Windows, connect to a localhost TCP port whose value is written
