[ovs-discuss] Issue with the VMware and OVS

Hello,

We are a group of students who are working with OVS. Recently we tried to
create a network using VMware and faced some issue with the connectivity.
Our VMware workstation has 4 VM's.

VM 1 - for OVS with 4 network interfaces (one NAT and 3 VMnet)
VM 2 - for Floodlight
VM 3 - for Host 1
VM 4 - for Host 2

What we are trying to do is to try to make them in a single network from
the OVS VM. So we created multiple network adapters from the VMware and
assigned it to each VM. We are able to ping each other in the network, but
the network adapter is getting turned off automatically in between and we
have to manually turn it on each time. There is no problem with the NAT
connection, but we are having this issue with the additional network
adapters. We tried this with multiple laptops both with VMware and also
with VirtualBox and face the same issue.

Can anyone suggest a fix, if you have faced a similar issue.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Regards,

Arshad Adam
