Subject: [ovs-discuss] OVS network connecting VMs in ESXi
Hi, I'm a student that is currently doing a project on SDN. I've set up a
network using openvswitch to allow communication between VMs and later on use
it for VMotion. However, I'm not able to do a ping through the network.
Below is my network setup.

ESXi 1
ESXi 2 ESXi 3
My current network setup has 3 VMWare ESXi, each with a dedicated network card
for management network.
The diagram shown above is using other network cards that is not connecting to
any management network.
In ESXi 1, VMs are connected to nic1 which is directly connected to nic2 of
ESXi 2. While in ESXi 3, VMs are connected to nic4 which is also directly
connected to nic3 of ESXi2.
In ESXi 2, there are few ovs connected together using patch ports (can be any
topology).
No IP was set to nic1,2,3 and 4 as all these are supposed to be in layer2. IP
was only set to VMs in ESXi 1 and ESXi 3.
Ping traffic from VM in ESXi 1 should move through the network formed using OVS
in ESXi2 and then arrive at ESXi 3, but ping wasn't successful.
Anyone can help me to solve this problem?
