Ovs

This document summarizes the steps to install Open vSwitch on a Linux server and configure the networking for KVM virtualization. It installs Open vSwitch, configures a bonded interface in active-backup or LACP mode, disables firewalld, defines an Open vSwitch network in libvirt with multiple VLAN-tagged portgroups, and starts the new network.
