os-net-config validates the requested MTU against the kernel-reported max_mtu. Dummy interfaces report max_mtu=0 (meaning 'no limit'), but os-net-config treats 0 literally and rejects any MTU setting:

dummy0 Desired MTU 1500 is greater than supported 0

Fix by removing the explicit mtu from the dummy0 and dummy1 bridge members. The OVS bridge handles MTU independently; dummy interfaces used as placeholder bridge members don't need it.
