ClickOS installation OpenvSwitch error

[p4pe]

Hello, followed this tutorial. I managed to install ClickOS in a Ubuntu 16.04 server Virtual Machine, hosted in VMWare.

The last step of the tutorial is the OvS bridge configuration. In my setup a have an eth0 interface with a static IP.. When I bind the bridge with the eth0. I lost the connectivity to the VM.

The questions are two:

1. How can i solve this?
2. How can i "access" the vm if i don't install OVS

Thank you
