Veth Pair

This role manages a veth pair. Actions:

  • If veth_pair_state is present, it will create the veth pair and plug one end into the specified OVS bridge. If veth_pair_plug_into_source is enabled, it will also plug the other end into/from a source Linux bridge.

  • If veth_pair_state is absent, it will ensure the veth pair does not exist; if veth_pair_plug_into_source is also enabled, it will ensure the veth pair is not plugged into the source bridge.

Requirements

The host should have the ip and ovs-vsctl commands accessible.
