Hi Guru, Ben,
Thanks for the responses. I originally did a "make install" though I realized there may be some packaging postinst scripts that may need to be run for it to work. I built and installed openvswitch-common and openvswitch-switch. "ifup --allow=ovs br0" still fails to find br0 but I've made progress nonetheless in the networking journal vagrant@magma-dev:/etc/network$ sudo journalctl -u networking Oct 12 23:27:29 magma-dev ovs-vsctl[2127]: ovs|00001|vsctl|INFO|Called as ovs-vsctl --timeout=5 -- --may-exist add-port br0 eth0 -- Oct 12 23:27:29 magma-dev networking[1875]: ovs-vsctl: Error detected while setting up 'eth0'. See ovs-vswitchd log for details. Oct 12 23:27:29 magma-dev networking[1875]: ovs-vsctl: The default log directory is "/var/log/openvswitch".

Failed to bring up br0. How do these interfaces get set up? Is there anyway to debug this? I've built this package from source, so I want to make sure I am not missing dependencies. Also should I be adding any additional systemctl units or should adding "openvswitch-switch" be enough?
