When you add ports to a virtual bridge, should you still be able to ping them? For some reason, I cannot ping the interface on the switch that a host
connects to. Yet, I can ping another host.

Do you mean, for example, if you add eth0 to br0, you can't ping the
address assigned to eth0? If so, then, no, you cannot ping the addresses of attached devices. You can assign the IP address to br0, though, and that
should work.

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. I tried giving my bridge, vbr0 an IP
address using:

  ifconfig vbr0 192.168.100.1,

But I am unable to ping it. In order to get ping working before, when I was pinging from host to host, I had to set up the default entry on each host to
be their outgoing interface, because it wouldn't work with the routers
incoming interface. Should the default entry for the hosts be vbr0's new IP
address?
Yes, all configuration should use the bridge interface's IP/MAC
address.  The underlying Ethernet adapters become owned by the switch
and it will take all traffic before it hits the IP stack.





Aah I see, thanks for making that clear. However, even after setting the hosts' routing tables to point to vbr0's IP address, I am still unable to ping it.

It works now! I had the hosts on a different subnet than Open vSwitch's subnet...
