An introduction to Linux network namespaces.

This video is lab style in that you can follow along on your own system or just watch. I walk through 2 examples mimicking how Mininet emulates hosts and how OpenStack provides DHCP services (they both use network namespaces)

Commands used:
Checking out L2/L3:
ip link
ip address
ip route

add an ip address to an interface:
ip address add (ip/mask length) dev (intf name)

turn an interface up
ip link set dev (intf name) up
=========
Add network namespace:
ip netns add (name)

Delete network namespace:
ip netns del (name)

Execute a command in a specific namespace:
ip netns exec (name) (command to execute)

Move a port to a namespace:
ip link set (intf name) netns (net namespace name)

What net namespace is a process ID running in?
ip netns identify (pid)
==========
OVS
add a vSwitch:
ovs-vsctl add-br (name)

add an interface to OVS instance:
ovs-vsctl add-port (OVS name) (intf name)

Create a veth pair:
ip link add (end1 name) type veth peer name (end2 name)

Place a port in a vlan:
ovs-vsctl set port (intf name) tag=(vlan number)

Make a port type internal:
ovs-vsctl set port (intf name) type=internal
