Code Block

-h, --help                   Display this help message and exit

add-port INTERFACE           Add a port to the datapath

                             Note: INTERFACE argument must be a Linux interface name

add-internal-port            creates a Linux interface connected to the given datapath

                             be used like a  normal net?dev, but traffic to and from it will flow
                             through the datapath.
