Interface OvsdbConnection

All Known Implementing Classes:
OvsdbConnectionService
public interface OvsdbConnection
OvsDBConnection Interface provides OVSDB connection management APIs which includes both Active and Passive connections. From the Library perspective, Active OVSDB connections are those that are initiated from the Controller towards the ovsdb-manager. While Passive OVSDB connections are those that are initiated from the ovs towards the controller.

Applications that use OvsDBConnectionService can use the connect APIs to initiate Active connections and can listen to the asynchronous Passive connections via registerConnectionListener listener API.

    • connectWithSsl

      OvsdbClient connectWithSsl(InetAddress address, int port, org.opendaylight.aaa.cert.api.ICertificateManager certificateManagerSrv)
      connect API can be used by the applications to initiate Active ssl connection from the controller towards ovsdb-server.
      Parameters:
      address - IP Address of the remote server that hosts the ovsdb server.
      port - Layer 4 port on which the remote ovsdb server is listening on.
      certificateManagerSrv - Certificate manager for SSL/TLS
      Returns:
      OvsDBClient The primary Client interface for the ovsdb connection.
