When the Load_Balancer is added to the logical_switch,
the VIP has to be in a different subnet than the one used
for the logical_switch.  Since VIP is in a different subnet,
you should connect your logical switch to either a OVN
logical router or a real router (this is because the client
can now send a packet with VIP as the destination IP address
and router's mac address as the destination MAC address).
