Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 2016-11-29 18:44:02 UTC
If one configures multiple VXLAN tunnels on the same port, with different flags (like GBP), OVS won't be able to handle that. It should refuse such configurations.

See RFC/patch and discussion upstream.

I have submitted a new patch, but I think this patch was not needed to begin with. I've asked upstream to also comment on this. Patch is here:

Comment 5 Eelco Chaudron 2017-07-25 12:35:10 UTC
Need to do some more testing to see what Linux support in the datapath and re-send (or ack) patch.

Comment 6 Eelco Chaudron 2018-02-09 14:45:26 UTC
Submitted v2 patch after confirming current implementation does not support concomitant tunnels.
