I’m creating an experimental lab setup with topology: Client ——— S1 ——— S2 ——— S3 ——— Server. S1, S2, S3 are OVS switches and are in different subnets, and all nodes are Vms. I need to connect the nodes using GRE tunnels and so I need to use ports on OVS to do so.
Is there anything that can be done? Worst case scenario I have to reinstall ubuntu on each VM and start from fresh.
