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:

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
