[ovs-discuss] Help needed to mirror a port

Hello all,

This message might a very common question I think but I wouldn't be here if
I am not fully desperate.

I am trying to do a simple port mirror and it is not working.

The scenario is:
Bridge: xapi3

Source port  vif208.1

Destination port vif210.2

# ovs-vsctl --version

ovs-vsctl (Open vSwitch) 2.3.2

Compiled Feb 16 2017 14:07:50

DB Schema 7.6.2


I can't change the version, just in case someone is thinking on a potential
upgrade.


I executed the next command:


ovs-vsctl -- set Bridge xapi3 mirrors=@m \

              -- --id=@vif208.1 get Port vif208.1 \

              -- --id=@vif210.2 get Port vif210.2 \

              -- --id=@m create Mirror name=mymirror
select-dst-port=@vif208.1 select-src-port=@vif208.1 output-port=@vif210.2


The system didn't return any error, only this:

28745af3-2c7f-4675-ad9e-a7459cdf3eda


Is that a new bridge? new interface?

How can I see the status of the mirror?

Any idea why this is not working?


Whatever is replied would be useful.

Thanks

Luis
