Introduction to ovsdb-plugin-2.3.1.rpm Software

The ovsdb-plugin-2.3.1.rpm package provides critical integration between Cisco Nexus switches and Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB) management systems. Designed for network operators managing software-defined infrastructure, this plugin enables bidirectional communication between Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches and OVSDB-compatible controllers like OpenDaylight or OVN.

As a production-grade release, version 2.3.1 adds native support for Cisco NX-OS 10.4(x) environments, particularly benefiting organizations using Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) with OVSDB-based overlay networks. Compatible with CentOS 7.9 and 8.5/RHEL derivatives, the plugin implements IETF RFC 7047 standards for OVSDB management protocol extensions.
