Thanks Ben. So in that case I need to use Patch Ports right ? Consider a scenario where I have (I am using Floodlight controller for inserting rules into the switch)
Bridge 1 : VM 1 and VM2 Bridge 2 : VM3 and VM4 and 2 Bridges are connected using Patch Ports, so now when I ping VM4 from VM1, first the packet goes to OVSwitch where it says it go to the Patch port on the other Bridge and now once its received on the other bridge does it again refer the OVSwitch to tell it how to direct it to the VM4. Is that how I can achieve ping from VM1 to VM4 ?
