Hey Guru,
If i understood correctly, you want to use your OVS Box to have a static ip address and to communicate with it. If so, go ahead and create an ifcfg file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$bridgeName
Then configure it as.
DEVICE=$bridgeName
HWADADR=<$bridgeName address as shown in ifconfig $bridgeName>
TYPE=OVSBridge
_ONBOOT_=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=x.x.x.x
netmask=y.y.y.y
Moreover, you can use LOCAL in your actions to send traffic to OVS-Box.

I have a small box running RHEL 7.1 hosting the OVS 2.5 bridge/switch with ALL of its interfaces in the bridge. And I have several boxes, again running RHEL 7.1, plugged into the bridge-box's interfaces.
I also need to be able to communicate with the bridge-box --- but all of its interfaces are in the OVS switch.
If the OVS switch/bridge had an IP address I could use that. That's what we've done using Linux bridges. But, unfortunately, Linux bridges don't meet all our requirements.
Have you read this yet?
