What made you think that either form above should work? I would like to
correct it.
The FAQ says:
If your controllers are not actually in-band (e.g. they are on
localhost via 127.0.0.1, or on a separate network), then you should
configure your controllers in "out-of-band" mode. If you have one
controller on bridge br0, then you can configure out-of-band mode
on it with:
ovs-vsctl set controller br0 connection-mode=out-of-band
