Larry,

I have double checked our charms and there is no code that specifically "turns on" VXLAN offloading. The charm code only interacts with openvswitch mainly by setting values in /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_plugin.ini.

Is there a Mellanox (assuming this is Mellanox) subordinate charm that is not represented in the bundle? Maybe there needs to be.

Reading the Mellanox documentation [1] for enabling VXLAN offloading requires a modprobe of mlx4_core (Step 2). (If this is not Mellanox there is likely a similar step). This may need to be its own subordinate charm.

What steps are you taking to manually turn on VXLAN offloading?
