Seems that this is not supported when the switch type of cluster is "Linux bridge". I will need to use a new cluster with OVS type of switch.
Below the paragraph from [1]: 1.2. Physical Networks
It is possible to connect the OVN logical networks to a physical network, akin to OpenStack’s physnet <https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/network/provider-physical-network.html>. The traffic on the physical external network can optionally be VLAN tagged. Connecting to external networks is *limited* to oVirt clusters configured to use *Open vSwitch* switch type, which is currently in tech-preview.

Hi all,
I have created some logical switches at the OVN network provider (the default provider that is configured during engine-setup). This is working fine.
I would like though to be able to connect a logical OVN switch to a physical network at which the hosts have access, so as to give access to guest VMs to this network. When connecting such switch to a physical network the guest VMs do not have access to the physical network:
[image: image.png] It seems that this should be supported from ovirt. Am I missing something?
P.S. I know I can provide such connectivity through standard networking, though was wondering if this can be done with OVN.
Many thanx, Alex

Hello Alex, yes you will need an OvS switch type to have this configured. Few things to keep in mind: 1) If you are using version 4.3 it should work just. 2) On versions 4.4 however the physnet support was re-enabled from vdsm version 4.40.37 (4.4.4). 3) With 4.4.4 we are also allowed to change cluster type directly without the need to reinstall the host. However I would advise you to switch clusters with only ovirtmgmt attached. 4) Unfortunately there is a NetworkManager bug which might make reboots of OvS hosts difficult [0]. If you have any questions or problems with the setup let us know. Thank you.
