Connecting external VM on a single Bridge #8

Description

@dyvesh

Hello Nicolas,

Is it possible to use ovs-toolbox to connect 2 external VM(VMware) to OVS based on Ubuntu?

Proposed architecture:
Vm1-Web1(VMware)-(port 80)
Vm2-Web2(VMware)-(Port 80)
Vm3(OVS-Switch with Open Day Light Controller) with 1 interface(ens33) bridge to host(hypervisor)
A bridge is used to connect Vm1-Web1(VMware) and Vm2-Web2(VMware) deployed on Vm3 using tun tap virtual port.(ip tuntap add mode tap vport1)
Interface ens33 is connected to the bridge.
Interface ens33 should be able to communicate with hypervisor(Windows 11).
VM3 should be able to communicate to the Internet also.
Hence the hypervisor(windows 11) should be able to communicated to the bridge.(To connect to the 2 web servers).

I am have been able to manually setup the above configurations using reference video such as:
https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/software-defined-networking-sdn-openflow-and-ovsdb-connection/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gud2GoI-W_w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYW7kQRyUvA&t=4s

Can you please confirm we can can setup the above configurations using the ovs-toolbox?
Can you also please indicate any steps required to configured the above configuration?
I also did not identify any method to allow interface to get IP from dhcp.(Example on ubuntu using command dhclient ens33)

Thank you in advance Nicolas for your help,
Thank you,
Dheeraaj
