Hi all,

I have a short question regarding to the mirror ports. Is ist possible to 
install more than one mirror on an ovs bridge?
I have a system which hosts 5 vm, all of these vms are connected to br1. The 
interfaces are tap{1…5},
When I configure a mirror port (lets say tap4) to capture all traffic of tap1, 
I use this command:

ovs-vsctl -- set Bridge br1 mirrors=@m \
 -- --id=@src get Port tap1 \
 -- --id=@mir get Port tap4 \
 -- --id=@m create Mirror name=ovs_mirror select-dst-port=@src 
select-src-port=@src output-port=@mir

The mirror is created successfully.

After that I try to create a second mirror on br1 with the same command, only 
changed tap1 to tap2 and tap4 to tap3 and the mirror-name. This mirror is 
created, too, but after that I miss my first mirror.

The created uuid of the mirror is different to the first one, so I think ovs 
isn’t able to handle more than one mirror port on a bridge at the same time?
Which would be quite poor for my intended purpose

Thx
Daniel
