Currently, we support GRE and CAPWAP L3 encapsulation. Take a look at the ovs-vswitch.conf.db man page to see a description of the options available through the Interface table to create a virtual port that provides that functionality. The archive for this mailing list has some discussion related to configuring it, which may be helpful.
