I read the FAQ.
In my system I have only one NIC through which I am connected to the
internet.
so I did the following:
# ovs-vsctl add-br br0
# ovs-vsctl add-port br0 em1
# ifconfig em1 0.0.0.0
# ifconfig br0 <ip> netmask <mask>
# ip route del default dev em1
# ip route add default dev br0
# dhclient br0
# ovs-vsctl show
667ae087-8a68-47e3-ba17-
406fc2df42bc
Bridge "br0"
Port "br0"
Interface "br0"
type: internal
Port "em1"
Interface "em1"
# ifconfig -a
br0: flags=4419<UP,BROADCAST,
RUNNING,PROMISC,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

Now I can use the internet again.
How IP addresses are manipulated in Open Vswitch?
If I create virtual machines connected to br0. There IP address will also
be in the same subnet of XX.XX.XX.XX.?
For a different subnet, do I have to create another bridge? Is it required
for every bridge to ported to a physical NIC?
Can I create a DHCP server in Open Vswitch?
Thanks,
