check Redhat annonuce. Now the quantum only support bridge plugin.

https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhos-list/2012-November/msg00011.html

Quantum support for openvswitch is not yet included, but we will update the
Preview with
support for openvswitch when the OVS kernel functionality is included in
RHEL.

  Hi David,

  Support for GRE tunneling is not part of the main-line kernel yet.
  Ubuntu support it by using the OVS kernel module that can be built from
  OVS source.  Red Hat based platforms do not support this to my knowledge,
  though you could always download the OVS source and build it yourself, as
  Centos is a target platform for OVS.  Google will show you a few examples
  of people explaining how they did it:

   Can anyone help to confirm that the GRE Tunneling can be used with
   Quantum on my RHEL6.3?

   My Redhat kernel version is 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64, and the OpenVSwitch
   version is 1.4.2. From the wiki page(
   http://wiki.openstack.org/ConfigureOpenvswitch) , I find some modules
   are still not available in RHEL.

   If I want to use the GRE Tunneling, need I upgrade my linux kernel or
   OpenVSwitch?

   Thanks!
