Hi Expert,

Background:

1. 2 hosts with Hyper-V Server 2016 and Open vSwitch 2.7.0 installed.
2. for each host, we have 2 NICs (NIC1/NIC2 are teaming members for public network) , the virtua switch name is FSOPublicNetwork.
3. we are testing vxlan according to tihs doc: https://cloudbase.it/open-vswitch-2-5-hyper-v-vxlan-part-2/, it's fine.

Two issues:

1. we found that the default gateway is unreachable after restarting a Hyper-v host; maybe several minutes later and nothting to do, the default gateway become reachable, it's wired.
2. we tried to connect the second virtual network adapter to the vSwitch on a VM, but failed and the error message is "failed to modify device 'Ethernet Connection"
