Hi all,
after reading this, I have a question according to this thread. I have
done some tests with patch ports and failed, too.
I just want to use another, let's say superior bridge, to establish a
connection to every bridge configured on the host. The connection port
to this superior bridge is configured as a mirror port. This superior
bridge connects to a monitoring system, too, which captures all relevant
traffic receiving on the connected interfaces.
I just want to establish a capture system, which is capable to mirror
all traffic as fast as possible.
I tried veth-ports via
ip link add veth type veth peer name veth1
ip link set veth0 up
ip link set veth1 up
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 veth0
ovs-vsctl add-port br1 veth1
and a configured mirror,
but they failed to, I just saw broadcast traffic on the mirroring
system. Do veth ports support mirroring?
sry, Im not a programmer, so I am not able to read (and understand) the
relevant code.
Thx
Daniel
Hi all,
I'm working on a project where I need to capture packets going through OVS
instances. I ran into strange behavior with 2.4 where I was only seeing
the packets being received by some ports, not those sent. Also the bridges
started behaving strangely when I added mirrors to patch ports, so I
upgraded to 2.5.
The good news with 2.5 is that on some interfaces I am now seeing packets
in both directions, however on OvsPatch interfaces I am now seeing no
packets at all. Was there a change introduced that disables mirroring
patch ports? OvsVxlan seem to work fine...
Thanks in advance. I can provide more details if necessary but I thought
I'd start with a high-level question.
Patch ports don't support mirroring, although we'd accept code changes
to fix that.
