Thanks for your response. BTW, is it possible to make the quantum + OpenVSwitch + VLAN type workable on my RHEL6.3? I am trying this in my environment, but my VM can not get IP address without any error in the quantum or compute log files.

A: The kernel module in upstream Linux 3.3 and later does not include the following features: - Bridge compatibility, that is, support for the ovs-brcompatd daemon that (if you enable it) lets "brctl" and other Linux bridge tools transparently work with Open vSwitch instead. We do not expect bridge compatibility to ever be available in upstream Linux. If you need bridge compatibility, use the kernel module from the Open vSwitch distribution instead of the upstream Linux kernel module. - Tunnel virtual ports, that is, interfaces with type "gre", "ipsec_gre", "capwap". It is possible to create tunnels in Linux and attach them to Open vSwitch as system devices. However, they cannot be dynamically created through the OVSDB protocol or set the tunnel ids as a flow action. Work is in progress in adding these features to the upstream Linux version of the Open vSwitch kernel module. For now, if you need these features, use the kernel module from the Open vSwitch distribution instead of the upstream Linux kernel module. - Patch virtual ports, that is, interfaces with type "patch". You can use Linux "veth" devices as a substitute. We don't have any plans to add patch ports upstream.

My Redhat kernel version is 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64, and the OpenVSwitch version is 1.4.2. From the wiki page( http://wiki.openstack.org/ConfigureOpenvswitch) , I find some modules are still not available in RHEL. If I want to use the GRE Tunneling, need I upgrade my linux kernel or OpenVSwitch?
