You actually have to create an interface and then a port (the difference being that a port can contain more than one interface for bonding but in this case there is only one). You can then add that port to a bridge. For example: je...@jesse-laptop:~/openvswitch$ sudo utilities/ovs-vsctl create interface name=gre0 type=gre options:remote_ip=x.x.x.x 4d158f28-220b-4e6f-aa7c-9ded0b528bdf je...@jesse-laptop:~/openvswitch$ sudo utilities/ovs-vsctl create port name=gre0 interfaces=[4d158f28-220b-4e6f-aa7c-9ded0b528bdf] 13cd8b36-c52b-479d-a188-51ee36782ed4 je...@jesse-laptop:~/openvswitch$ sudo utilities/ovs-vsctl add bridge br0 ports 13cd8b36-c52b-479d-a188-51ee36782ed4 Also, I should point out that while you are correct that you no longer need to load a separate OVS GRE module, you do still need to unload the Linux ip_gre module if it is loaded.
