The manpage of `ovs-vswitchd.conf.db` indicate the `other_config` is `map of string-string pairs`, hence I would like to suggest NetworkManager support arbitrary `other_config` and let OVS daemon validate it. fixed on main: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/commit/b6122540fab63a25133ac80aac3810fe38149ed9 Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: The ovs-bond has certain parameters that needs to be configured via other-config [1]. The expected output for ovs-bond would be [root@dell-r640-oss-14 ~]# sudo ovs-vsctl list port _uuid : b23fcf87-b175-4532-a42c-7f8c22811496 bond_active_slave : "e4:43:4b:5c:96:82" bond_downdelay : 0 bond_fake_iface : false bond_mode : balance-slb bond_updelay : 0 cvlans : [] external_ids : {NM.connection.uuid="98b3bcbf-7be6-4eae-ac31-9738fe309b2a"} fake_bridge : false interfaces : [4f598dfb-acb1-4a3d-a7fb-196e59ed40f1, 7c501de1-eb59-4f2c-b21d-0dd212d32fef] lacp : off mac : [] name : ovs-bond1 other_config : {bond-miimon-interval="100"} protected : false qos : [] rstp_statistics : {} rstp_status : {} statistics : {} status : {} tag : [] trunks : [] vlan_mode : [] Also its required for Bridges Table, as we have a need to set the "other_config : mac-table-size" for the bridge. So IMHO the ovs-db object shall be present at global level, bridge level and port level. The BZ description needs this refinement.
