Public bug reported:


on RHEL7 beta agent set to use VXLAN tunneling does not start.
I'm using rdo packages, if you want I can check the upstream version somewhere, but seems that code that checks the version is still in github.

in openvswitch-agent.log I see:

It seems that the minimum kernel version required to use VXLAN is set to
3.13 (shouldn't 3.9 be enough ?). RHEL7 ships only 3.10. Vxlan module
however is present and working, and even if the only module properly
working is in 3.13 kernel, the check doesn't take into consideration
backported features.
