Viewing the virtual interface information on the compute node for VXLAN tunnels

When a tenant launches a VM and attaches it to a virtual network, a virtual network interface is created on the compute node, which connects the VM to the OVS instance.

In this recipe, we will identify the virtual network interface, which attaches a VM to the OVS instance on the VXLAN network.

We will also look at the OVS configuration, which makes the communication between the VM and other members on the virtual network possible.
