[SL] This section is the issue. The guest domain (VM) is set to use a bridge ("1511"?), but you haven't specified "virtualport type=openvswitch", so Libvirt isn't able to properly communicate with OVS.

If you look at the example XML that I supplied here:

<http://blog.scottlowe.org/2012/11/12/libvirt-ovs-integration-revisited/>

then you can see a snippet of network XML configuration that *will* work with OVS. This should get you started down the right path.

Good luck!
