All you have to make that work is set up a manager to listen on a TCP
port, for example on the system running ovsdb-server:
ovs-vsctl set-manager ptcp:
and then on the remote system:
ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:1.2.3.4 add-port br0 vif1.0
where 1.2.3.4 is the correct IP address and you can use any vsctl
command you like.
