RPi OVS Split #01 - still coming to grips with what I want from the change

So even though I generated an output from chatGPT, I am still contemplating if this is all that I want the AI prompt to provide. The output that was produced was some 22 pages in length.  I had added a third namespace to the item.

My thoughts were to have one namespace be connected to an external Ethernet adapter, eth1, which could then provide a router function to my WISP environment.  I was going to do this even though I really didn't need it.  I have plenty of routers in my stock without resorting to having a RPi be my router, providing DNS and DHCP services to whatever was connected to the adapter.  I had originally thought about using it to provide DNS/DHCP to my laptop if I decided to turn off the rack equipment.  So far so good.

Project #39 - Using AI to Develop a Configuration to Connect a Raspberry Pi into Two Different Networks

 I was attempting to determine how to connect a Raspberry Pi into 2 different networks using the power of OpenVSwitch.  What I came up with used the following prompt:

"You are an expert user of bash on Linux and of virtual networking including Docker and LXC.  Develop a set of CLI commands to use on a Raspberry Pi 4B using RaspiOS to use Open V Switch to:

1. Use OVS to split the networking into 2 or 3 separate name spaces so that the Raspberry Pi has an internal NAT separating a network using the Raspberry Pi’s wifi and a network using the Raspberry Pi’s ethernet. 

2. Show the network setups in a Docker Compose yaml file to connect to the name spaces that have been defined. 

3. The Docker Compose yaml file will separate the Docker containers to those on the wifi facing network and those on the ethernet facing network. 

4. Both of the name spaces should have their own IP addresses defined from external DHCP sources. 

5. Explain each step in the process, including installation and configuration of changes to the Raspberry Pi networking system and introduction of openvswitch software. 

6. Document this setup in a Microsoft Word document that can be downloaded."

I now have a Microsoft Word document that I can execute items from to test out if this is going to work.
