VLAN and GRE provider networks at the same time with OVS plugin

this should work. by default, i think you would get tunneled networks, but
would be able to use the provider networks extension to create networks
that map to physical vlans.

Looks to me like it should work as well.

One note is that "tenant_network_type = vlan" will cause tenant networks to be allocated as vlans. If you change this to "tenant_network_type = gre" then they will be gre networks. In either case, you can allocate provider vlan and gre networks.

Also, I noticed that your ranges of vlan tags on the two physical networks don't overlap. Note that you can re-use the same vlan tags on distinct physical networks for distinct virtual networks (assuming the physical networks aren't the same network).

Good point Bob, I was wrong about the default.

Dan, Bob,

Thanks for the quick response :-)
