@sudharsanomprakash, you need to install NetworkManager-ovs at nodes.

[sudharsanomprakash]

@qinqon correct, but I think Ubuntu 20.x doesn't have that package anymore?

@sudharsanomprakash is not possile to use NetworkManager + ovs at ubuntu right now using their packages.

You would need to compile the NetworkManager-ovs yourself
