[OVSDB-457] Populate a bridge port's mac_in_use field

Thu, 7 Jun 2018 04:23:31 +0000

Currently, neither the TerminationPoint nor the OvsdbTerminationPointAugmentation have a port's MAC address. According to the OVS Schema [1] the mac_in_use field should be used for this purpose.

The only way to get the mac address for a bridge port is to look in the OpenFlow inventory using the OpenFlow Node ID and port number as the key, as follows:

"node-connector": [

{ "id": "openflow:222969675150665:2", "flow-node-inventory:hardware-address": "4a:c7:ce:4e:a6:a4", ... }
