Hi, Can someone explain regarding the flow that can be configured to restrict a packet from flooding to particular port(s) ??
Is it possible to add an ovs-ofctl flow to restrict a packet with particular VLAN ID not to flood to a particular port. For example, we have an OVS bridge, br0 having 5 ports. Three ports of br0 are having ports of VMs with VLAN ids as (VM1: 10, V2: 15, V3: 10). The physical interfaces eth1 and eth2 are assigned as other ports of the bridge br0. Now the packets coming from VMs with VLAN id 10 has to be flooded to all the ports except to the port eth2. Similarly the packets from the VM with VLAN id 15 has to be flooded to all the ports except eth1. Is this scenario possible using flows ? If possible, can we have similar single flow to restrict multiple ports ? Thanks, Avinash.
