Description Quique Llorente 2022-04-26 14:23:50 UTC

Description of problem:

When at OVS bridge is created and a vxlan port is attached the "base-iface" appears at nmstatectl show as empty instead of having the ovs-bridge name.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2 (python)


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. ovs-vsctl add-br br0 
2. ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vx_node1 -- set interface vx_node1 \
  type=vxlan options:remote_ip=192.168.122.174
3. nmstatectl show 



Actual results:
The "base-iface" field is empty

Expected results:
The "base-iface" should point to ovs bridge br0


Additional info:
It also ends with nasty failure in case the vxlan port is up and we try to configure a state, since the parent is empty [1]

RHEL 8.6 scratch build is at https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=44959699

Comment 2 Gris Ge 2022-04-29 06:55:51 UTC

To reproduce this problem:

 * ovs-vsctl add-br br0_with_vxlan
 * ovs-vsctl add-port br0_with_vxlan vx_node1 -- \
    set interface vx_node1 type=vxlan options:remote_ip=192.168.122.174 \
    options:dst_port=8472
 * nmcli d set vxlan_sys_8472 managed false
 * Use nmstatectl to apply any state.

Comment 9 Mingyu Shi 2022-06-01 06:23:04 UTC

Verified with versions:
nmstate-1.3.0-0.alpha.20220505.el8.x86_64
nispor-1.2.3-1.el8.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.39.5-1.el8.x86_64
openvswitch2.15-2.15.0-103.el8fdp.x86_64
Linux hpe-dl380pgen8-02-vm-14.hpe2.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com 4.18.0-393.el8.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 12:44:50 EDT 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
DISTRO=RHEL-8.7.0-20220524.0

Nmstate doens't support ovs vxlan, so the `base-iface: ''` of ovs vxlan is still there, but it doesn't impact applying any other new state.
