Install Open vSwitch
</h3>
<p className="mb-4">
This optimization installs <strong>Open vSwitch (OVS)</strong>, a multilayer virtual switch
designed for modern virtualized environments. OVS enhances network management by enabling
advanced features for virtualized infrastructures.
</p>
<p className="mb-4">
<strong className="block">Why it's beneficial:</strong>
Open vSwitch provides powerful networking capabilities, including:
</p>
<ul className="list-disc pl-5 mb-4">
<li><strong>VLAN Support:</strong> Enables segmentation of virtual networks for better security and isolation.</li>
<li><strong>Trunking:</strong> Allows multiple VLANs on a single physical or virtual interface.</li>
<li><strong>Traffic Shaping:</strong> Implements bandwidth control and rate limiting per interface or flow.</li>
<li><strong>Quality of Service (QoS):</strong> Prioritizes network traffic for optimized performance.</li>
<li><strong>Integration with SDN (Software Defined Networking):</strong> Works seamlessly with OpenFlow for programmable network control.</li>
</ul>
<p className="text-lg mb-2">This adjustment automates the following commands:</p>
<CopyableCode
code={`
# Install Open vSwitch packages
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install openvswitch-switch openvswitch-common
# Verify installation
ovs-vsctl --version
`}
/>
<h4 className="text-lg font-semibold mt-6">Basic Usage: Creating a Virtual Switch</h4>
<p className="mb-4">
Once installed, Open vSwitch can be used to create virtual network bridges. Below is an example of how to create a virtual switch named <code>br0</code> and add a network interface to it.
</p>
<CopyableCode
code={`
# Create a new OVS bridge
ovs-vsctl add-br br0
# Add a network interface (e.g., eth1) to the bridge
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth1
# Show the current Open vSwitch configuration
ovs-vsctl show
`}
/>
<h4 className="text-lg font-semibold mt-6">Adding VLANs to Open vSwitch</h4>
<p className="mb-4">
Open vSwitch allows VLAN tagging to segment network traffic. Below is an example of how to add an interface to a specific VLAN.
</p>
<CopyableCode
code={`
# Add eth1 to br0 and assign it to VLAN 100
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth1 tag=100
`}
/>
<h4 className="text-lg font-semibold mt-6">Trunking Multiple VLANs</h4>
<p className="mb-4">
If an interface needs to carry multiple VLANs (trunk mode), use the following command:
</p>
<CopyableCode
code={`
# Configure eth1 as a trunk port allowing VLANs 100 and 200
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth1 trunks=100,200
`}
/>
<h4 className="text-lg font-semibold mt-6">Deleting a Bridge or Port</h4>
<p className="mb-4">
If you need to remove a bridge or a port from Open vSwitch, use these commands:
</p>
<CopyableCode
code={`
# Delete a bridge
ovs-vsctl del-br br0
# Remove a port from a bridge
ovs-vsctl del-port br0 eth1
`}
/>
<p className="mt-4">
Open vSwitch enables advanced networking capabilities for virtual environments, allowing greater
control over network traffic, security, and performance optimizations.

Optimize Network Interface Settings
</h3>
<p className="mb-4">
This setting adjusts network interface parameters to enhance performance and reliability.
</p>
<p className="mb-4">
<strong className="block">Why it's beneficial:</strong>
PProper NIC tuning reduces latency, packet loss, and improves stability
in environments with high network loads. Adjustments like increasing TX queue length prevent packet drops
and enhance network responsiveness, which is essential in virtualized infrastructures with multiple VMs and containers.
</p>
<p className="text-lg mb-2">This adjustment automates the following commands:</p>
