Hi all,

In addition to man of ovs-vsctl, this thread (
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/discuss_openvswitch.org/2010-December/001150.html)
helps us to set up port mirroring in our environment. But we meet some
problems which you all help us. In our host, which installed ovs, have 3
virtual interfaces (tap0 - tap2) and 2 physical interface (eth0, eth1). We
have added tap0-tap2, eth0, eth1 to bridge br0. Our ovs could mirror the
traffic from tap0 and tap1 to tap2 successfully but mirror the same traffic
to eth1 will not work. Could ovs mirror VM traffic to physical interface? Or
we have some basic concept need to be clear?

Thanks

Jen-Wei
