switch='br-int'
/sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 up
ovs-vsctl add-port ${switch} $1

/sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 down
ovs-vsctl del-port ${switch} $1

Create a KVM VM with cirros image and attach to OpenvSwitch Bridge "br-int"
#sudo kvm -m 2048 -net nic,macaddr=00:00:00:00:cc:10 -net tap,script=/etc/ovs-ifup,downscript=/etc/ovs-ifdown cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-disk.img




5)

11)
Ping to www.google.com

Login to cirros VM and open /etc/resolve.conf and add
