Hi,
The open-fcoe service fcoemon does a vlan discovery on configured interfaces.
However, when this interface is added as a port in an openvswitch bridge, the
fcoemon socket does not receive the vlan replies. The FIP vlan request is made
with a "SAN MAC" which is different from the interface MAC addr and this is
probably why openvswitch does not deliver it to the stack? I'm not sure.
I'm trying to add a flow which will make openvswitch ignore the 0x8914 (FIP)
packet type and deliver it to the stack.
I added the following flows. But the socket still does not get the Fipvlan
packets. I'm probably misunderstanding the command/options. How can I get
openvswitch to not process packets of mac type 0x8914? I apologize if this is
something obvious in the FAQ. I couldn't figure it out.
# ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=0, dl_type=0x8914, in_port=1,
actions=output:LOCAL"
# ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=0, dl_type=0x8914, in_port=LOCAL,
actions=output:1"
Trace shows -
# ovs-appctl ofproto/trace br0 dl_type=0x8914
Flow:
metadata=0,in_port=ANY,vlan_tci=0x0000,dl_src=00:00:00:00:00:00,dl_dst=00:00:00:00:00:00,dl_type=0x8914
Rule: table=0 cookie=0 dl_type=0x8914
OpenFlow actions=LOCAL
Final flow: unchanged
Relevant fields: skb_priority=0,in_port=ANY,dl_type=0x8914,nw_frag=no
Datapath actions: 1
To summarize, I'm looking for an openvswitch command which does the same thing
as
"ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -p 0x8914 -j DROP"
for the standard linux bridge.
Details of the system - RHEL 6.3
