Description of problem: I've installed and configured openvswitch (see attachments for full configs). cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p3p1 | grep 'ONBOOT\|TYPE\|obr0' ONBOOT="yes" DEVICETYPE=ovs TYPE=OVSPort OVS_BRIDGE=obr0 the ovs bridge is up and all ports are added but p3p1 interface is down and bridge is not able to obtain ip address. NOTE: network service is in use (not NetworkManager). Workaround: ifconfig p3p1 up dhclient obr0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openvswitch-1.11.0-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ovs and configure one port 2. Reboot Actual results: Physical interface is down Expected results: Physical interface is up Additional info:

The problem happens because the OVS bridge isn't configured properly. You uploaded this: $ cat ifcfg-obr0 DEVICE=obr0 ONBOOT=yes DEVICETYPE=ovs TYPE=OVSBridge BOOTPROTO=dhcp HOTPLUG=no But OVS Bridge doesn't use BOOTPROTO and requires OVSDHCPINTERFACES. To enable DHCP on the bridge you need to use OVSBOOTPROTO instead of BOOTPROTO, and all the interfaces that can reach the DHCP server as a space separated list in OVSDHCPINTERFACES. In your case, it would be like below: DEVICE=obr0 ONBOOT=yes DEVICETYPE=ovs TYPE=OVSBridge HOTPLUG=no OVSBOOTPROTO="dhcp" OVSDHCPINTERFACES="p3p1" The other file ifcfg-p3p1 looks good to me. Could you see if fixing ifcfg-obr0 fixes the problem? Thanks!
Pavel, I am going to close this bug since I think the problem is just a misconfiguration. If you think otherwise, feel free to reopen it. Thanks
