Hi all,

I am trying to virtually connect two bridges on different network namespaces inside a CentOS KVM host. I have tried different configs, but this is the most closer than I can test:

ip netns add pubnet ip netns exec pubnet ip link set dev lo up ip netns exec pubnet ifup pubif2
ip link add dev vethpubif1 type veth peer name vethpubif2
ovs-vsctl add-port pubif1 vethpubif1
ip link set vethpubif2 netns pubnet ip netns exec pubnet brctl addif pubif2 vethpubif2
ip link set dev vethpubif1 up ip netns exec pubnet ip link set dev vethpubif2 up

Bridge in the root host network namespace is openvswitch based, and bridge inside pubnet’s network namespace is brctl based. Using this config, vms attached to pubif1 openvswitch based can’t ping to vms connected to vms in pubif2 bridge.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks.
