EVPN: Exception in vpnmanager during tep creation.

[vagrant@centos7_aione_ocata_odl scripts]$ more tep.json 
 {
 "input":
{ "destination-ip": "192.168.121.63", "tunnel-type": "odl-interface:tunnel-type-vxlan" }
}
 curl -X POST -u admin:admin -k -v -H "$CT_JSON" \
 $ODL_URL/operations/itm-rpc:add-external-tunnel-endpoint -d @tep.json
As soon as I run this command, the following exception is seen in Netvirt.
 Note: The VxLAN tunnel from Compute node to DC-GW was however created. 192.168.121.63 is the DC-GW/Cumulus-VX IP.
