      Given a system administrator attempts to create a VLAN over an OVS internal interface named identically to its OVS bridge controller,
      When they execute the VLAN creation command,
      Then the VLAN should be created successfully without any errors related to interface name conflicts.

      Definition of Done:

      • The implementation meets the acceptance criteria
      • Unit test and integration test are written and pass
      • The code is part of a downstream build attached to an errata
      • The fix needs to be backported into RHEL-9.4

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      With OVS internal interface holding the same name as its controller OVS bridge, creating VLAN over this OVS internal interface will get error:

      Error: Connection activation failed: br0.101 failed to create resources: cannot retrieve ifindex of interface br0 (Open vSwitch Bridge)

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
