[SL] Try adding a portgroup, like this: <network> <name>br0</name> <forward mode='bridge'/> <bridge name='br0'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'/> <portgroup name='default' default='yes'> </portgroup> </network> Let me know how that works. I'm using this configuration actively right now on Ubuntu 14.04, KVM, libvirt 1.2.2, and OVS 2.3.2. > On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 12:34 AM, Scott Lowe <scott.l...@scottlowe.org> wrote: > Please see my responses inline, prefixed by [SL]. > > Ramana Reddy <gtvrre...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi Scott, > > > > I followed your blog mentioned in the url.
