For your reference.
Using the following commands.
systemctl start openvswitch && killall dhclient && ovs-vsctl add-br OFSWITCH -- 
set Bridge OFSWITCH other-config:hwaddr=06:a7:ea:7a:1e:11 && ovs-vsctl add-port 
OFSWITCH eth0 && ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 && dhclient OFSWITCH && service network 
restart
These commands are tested on RHEL7.1 and make sure that setting the MAC address 
of newly created bridge the same as eht0.
EC2 uses dhcp to assign private address and public address, so you should also 
using dhcp to acquire IP address for newly created bridge.
Thanks.

hi, all
i have installed openvswitch-2.3.2 in Amazon EC2, and want to use openvswitch 
to build a gre tunnel with other PC.
this is the ifconfig output








[root@ip-172-31-30-157 openvswitch]# ifconfig

and route output

and i use the following commands
ovs-vsctl add-br OVS-SWITCH && ovs-vsctl add-port OVS-SWITCH eth0 && ifconfig 
eth0 0 && ifconfig OVS-SWITCH 172.31.30.157 netmask 255.255.240.0 && route add 
default gw 172.31.16.1 dev OVS-SWITCH
but after i execute these commands, i lose the connection with my ec2.
does anyone have deployed openvswitch in amazon ec2, and could you please give 
me some suggestions.
Many thanks!
