Hi all, I have installed Openvswitch 2.5.2 in a RHEL 7.3 KVM host fully patched. I need to implement port mirroring for some kvm guests (not all). According to openvswitch's docs this can be done using the following command:
ovs-vsctl -- --id=@m create mirror name=tapmirror -- add bridge idsbr0 mirrors @m -- --id=@oneguest0 get port oneguest0 -- set mirror tapmirror select_src_port=@oneguest0 select_dst_port=@oneguest0 -- --id=@idsguest0 get port idsguest0 -- set mirror tapmirror output-port=@idsguest0 where oneguest0 interface is the kvm guest virtual interface, idsguest0 is the interface where I will receive mirrored traffic and idsbr0 is the openvswitch bridge where idsguest0 is assigned. Is it correct this command?. Then, I have the following questions: a/ Is it possible to use full openvswitches switche as a src_port and dst_port (and output-port) instead of every virtual interface (oneguest0, oneguest1, etc.) that I want to monitor? b/ If "no" is the answer to question a/, do I need to execute previous command for every virtual interface that I need to monitor? c/ Do I need to create idsbr0 bridge before to launch previous command? d/ Last question, do I need to run the previous command every time that kvm host starts? Many thanks for your attention. -- Greetings, C. L.
