1 min readMar 23, 2019

when tried to create a virtual machine in vmm, it shows that open vswitch is not enabled. how do i enable the Oven vSwitch. At least i can start the Service of the Open vSwitch, so i can add a bridge and so on, but i need more informations, to make i really work.
First of all, with these commands you can start the Open vSwitch services:

synoservice --start synoovs-db
synoservice --start synoovs-vswitch

Because its not working as expected, i need somebody with a Synology with switched on OVS. Maybe somebody can send me some files, so i can try to make work.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts → All files in that directory
/etc/rc.network
/etc/rc.network_routing
/etc/synoinfo.conf
/usr/syno/etc/synoovs → All files in that directory

Then i need some information from CLI, that are the commands:
ip link
ovs-vsctl show
ovs-dpctl show

Just go to “/etc/synoinfo.conf” and add this:
support_ovs="yes"

sudo ovs-vsctl show
cf3e0d29–811e-4557–89de-92e708536160
Bridge “ovs_eth0”
Port “eth0”
Interface “eth0”
Port “ovs_eth0”
Interface “ovs_eth0”

Bridge “ovs_eth1”
Port “eth1”
Interface “eth1”
Port “ovs_eth1”
Interface “ovs_eth1”
type…
