Connection methods for clients.
-
ssl:host
[:port
]
-
The specified SSL port on the host at the given
host, which can either be a DNS name (if built with
unbound library) or an IP address. A valid SSL configuration must
be provided when this form is used, this configuration can be
specified via command-line options or the
table.
If port is not specified, it defaults to 6640.
SSL support is an optional feature that is not always
built as part of Open vSwitch.
-
tcp:host
[:port
]
-
The specified TCP port on the host at the given
host, which can either be a DNS name (if built with
unbound library) or an IP address. If host is an IPv6
address, wrap it in square brackets, e.g.
tcp:[::1]:6640
.
If port is not specified, it defaults to 6640.
-
pssl:
[port][:host
]
-
Listens for SSL connections on the specified TCP port.
Specify 0 for port to have the kernel automatically
choose an available port. If host, which can either
be a DNS name (if built with unbound library) or an IP address,
is specified, then connections are restricted to the resolved or
specified local IPaddress (either IPv4 or IPv6 address). If
host is an IPv6 address, wrap in square brackets,
e.g. pssl:6640:[::1]
. If host is not
specified then it listens only on IPv4 (but not IPv6) addresses.
A valid SSL configuration must be provided when this form is
used, this can be specified either via command-line options or
the table.
If port is not specified, it defaults to 6640.

-
ptcp:
[port][:host
]
-
Listens for connections on the specified TCP port.
Specify 0 for port to have the kernel automatically
choose an available port. If host, which can either
be a DNS name (if built with unbound library) or an IP address,
is specified, then connections are restricted to the resolved or
specified local IP address (either IPv4 or IPv6 address). If
host is an IPv6 address, wrap it in square brackets,
e.g. ptcp:6640:[::1]
. If host is not
specified then it listens only on IPv4 addresses.
If port is not specified, it defaults to 6640.
