Greetings, I've been experimenting using netplan to control Open vSwitch (OVS) bridges/interfaces and am wondering if there is any appetite to add support for gretap tunnels via native OVS commands? It's a little tricky to implement as the interface *must* be attached to an OVS bridge and it does not appear that there is a fool-proof method of linking a tunnel to a bridge. For example, VLAN interfaces have the "link" attribute whereas the only existing method of linking a tunnel would be via the bridge's "interfaces" attribute.
I looked through the netplan code to see if there was any way to abuse the "other-config" attribute to get this to work but the "add-port" method of ovs-vsctl is gated solely behind patch ports. I'm willing to spend some time trying to implement this (I submitted 2 minor patches recently!) but am looking for some direction on how to firmly establish the br<->tunnel linkage before beginning. - Brian
