The ifcfg file works like a champ. No problem and, of course, it
provides a persistent IP assignment on reboot.
Thank guys.

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?
