How to use [ovs-other-config] setting

[Tobias Hofmann (tohofman)]

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to understand how to correctly use the [ovs-other-config] setting in my OvS bridge keyfile as referenced here: https://networkmanager.dev/docs/api/latest/settings-ovs-other-config.html

I tried by adding it like this:
[ovs-other-config]
stp-forward-delay=4

and also like that:
[ovs-other-config-data]
stp-forward-delay=4

but whenever I restart NetworkManager the setting is not applied to my bridge. I feel like I’m doing something wrong here. Can anybody help? For reference, this is my full keyfile:

[connection]
id=ovs-bridge-new-br
uuid=df9c198d-7e65-41ff-8334-ea30e4b5afb9
type=ovs-bridge
interface-name=new-br
timestamp=1738097755

[ethernet]

[ovs-bridge]
stp-enable=true

[ovs-other-config-data]
stp-forward-delay=4

[ipv4]
method=auto

[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=default
method=auto

[proxy]

Thanks
Tobias
