Hi,

VLAN transparency is not supported for OVS mechanism driver. Maybe somewhere in future - that was reported, for example in [1] 

Maybe you would consider using ‘VLAN aware VMs’ aka Neutron trunk ports, [2]?

But it does not work as ARP packets are dropped inside OVS. Per my understanding, I shall miss something of configuration so OVS ARP flows are not added automatically.
