The switch will need to support doing the encapsulation. Open vSwitch can do VXLAN, GRE, and a few other types of encapsulation, but last I checked, I don't think classic IP-in-IP was one of them. Are you willing/able to switch to another type (e.g., VXLAN) or modify Open vSwitch to support your encapsulation?
