Keep an IP address at eth2. This will be the IP address you add with vtep-ctl set Physical_Switch br0 tunnel_ips=192.168.0.3 As mentioned in the README. I see a block called "VM" in your diagram. I suppose that is meant to be the "physical_port" of the VTEP. If so, that is correct. You add that interface name as a port using ovs-vsctl to the VTEP bridge and also add it using "vtep_ctl" to VTEP's "physical_port" table. > > NOTE: I'm instantiating the host via Vagrant + VirtualBox which uses eth0 by > default for SSH access.
