The situation is the same as if you had a physical switch with three
ports, populated with: your physical machine's eth0, your virtual
machine's eth0, and whatever is plugged into your physical machine's
eth0.  So if you'd give your virtual machine an internal IP address in
that situation, you'd give it one with Open vSwitch.

OVS doesn't have an internal DHCP server.  If you have one on your
network already, then it can assign your VM an IP address.
