When the Load_Balancer is added to the logical_switch, the VIP has to be in a different subnet than the one used for the logical_switch. Since VIP is in a different subnet, you should connect your logical switch to either a OVN logical router or a real router (this is because the client can now send a packet with VIP as the destination IP address and router's mac address as the destination MAC address).
