Ben

Sorry. I forgot to mention it. I have applied the patches as per the thread 

[ovs-dev] [PATCH] Implement draft VXLAN L2-over-L3 tunneling protocol.

And I could ping vm1 and vm2 across this tunnel.

What I am looking for is how to pass VNI in the setup command.

Thanks
=Senthil

Open vSwitch doesn't currently support VXLAN.
