For every bridge created using ovs-vsctl command (ovs-vsctl add-br
<bridge-name>), an internal port with the name same as <bridge-name> gets
created.
You can set the ip address of this interface on the host running mininet.

e.g. just running "sudo mn" creates a switch s1 and hosts h1 and h2 with h1
ip 10.0.0.1 and h2 with ip 10.0.0.2

On the mininet host:
sudo ifconfig s1 10.0.0.100/24 up     (make sure the ip does not conflict
with any other physical ip on the host machine)

>From mininet prompt:
mininet> h1 ping 10.0.0.100
