hey everyone ,

i'm new to ovs and i am just starting to figure out how things are working


so my question:


is it possible to use 2 physical linux machines with ovs on it to connect 2 networks into 1 VLAN (vxlan) ?



the idea is to use the machines as VTEP's because all the switches aren't able to understand VXLAN.

my problem is i don't know how ovs works in this case to connect 2 physical ports to a bridge and just be the VTEP


it should look like:


[NETWORK1]-----[Linux-machine1{ovs[VTEP]}]----[mpls/normal-network]---- [Linux-machine2{ovs[VTEP]}]----[NETWORK2]

thanks in advance for your help
