Hello,
I am relatively new to openvswitch. I have the following setting.
3 vms:

VM1 — 192.168.122.124,172.16.0.2 (2 I/F)
VM2 — 192.168.122.118 (1I/F)
VM3 —  192.168.122.224,172.16.0.3 (2 I/F)

VM1 is running nfs-server process.VM2 is running nfs-client process.NFS-Packets from VM2 come to VM1 on 192.168.122.124.I want to redirect these packets to VM3 where it needs to be processed and then it needs to come back to VM1.
I have additional interfaces on VM1 and on VM3 on a different subnet if required.

NFS uses following for its communication :
portmapper — tcp/udp — 111
status 	   — tcp/udp — 4000
nfs              — tcp/udp — 2049
nlockmgr    — tcp/udp — 4001
mountd       — tcp/udp — 4002

How do I configure flows required for my scenario?Can anyone point me in right direction?
