[ovs-discuss] How is routing between subnets performed?

[Brian Krisler]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out the proper method to route between two subnets
and can not seem to figure it out.

I have a setup like:

H1 ?> OVS ?> H2

where each host is running in its own VM with IPs:

H1 = 192.168.0.1
OVS = 192.168.0.13 (eth0) and 10.0.0.1 (eth1)
H3 = 10.0.01

I would like to have OVS flows that would allow H1 to see H3 (and H3 see H1).
I first tried to use IP forwarding and Linux routing to solve the problem,
but I could not figure out how to setup the routing tables on either H1
or H3, since adding two ports to the bridge would eliminate one of the IPs on OVS.
I could get routing to work fine for the remote host that was on the same network
as the bridge, but had issues with the other IP.

I discovered this tutorial:

http://youtu.be/TD5wmoD7XOE
that used flows to handle some simple routing. While the flows described
in this video would work, the route issue still exists, preventing H1 from
ARPing a gateway to get a MAC address for H3.

What is the proper way to have two NICs, each on a different subnet attached
to a single OVS, and then have external hosts route correctly to the switch?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Brian
