[ovirt-users] Re: Connecting OVN network to physical network
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-ph...;.
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:

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
