Hi Ben, Thanks for your reply. I could not get back earlier as I was not having access to the internet.

I don't know how to configure this. As you say above, I got that on the machine which is to be treated as a switch should have an openvswitch installation and that an openvswitch bridge needs to be configured with the NICs as ports. But I don't know if I need to have a openvswitch installation on the other two physical machines as well? I am really not clear about it. Can you point me to some place where I can find this or a similar thing documented? Regards, - Nisha
