[ovs-discuss] How to ping two machines through Openvswitch?

[neeraj]

Just install the POX with the given procedure(I have never worked on POX), and set it as controller by ovs-vsctl set-controller "bridge name"  tcp:IP_OF_POX_VM, 
For your information you can also use OVS as controller

Dear Neeraj,

Thank you so much for your helpful replies. As you understood, I have the OVS on my real machine. Then I have two VMs. As you said, I can add
vnet0 and vnet 1 both to the br0 of OVS.

The problem now is I also need to install a POX controller on my machine and connect it with the OVS. How can I install POX and integrate it with the OVS?

Thank you.

Regards,
Asad.
