Openswtich mirror slow connection.
 

Hello all.

I'm trying to use mirror with OpenSwtich but when I finished the configuration all connection on my network start to been slow.

Who is woriking:

I have a bridge, into this bridge I created one mirror. Put the src and dst ports (the real switch port) and the destination port, my machine. After that my connection been very slow.

On my environment that machine is running on the Xenserver 6.5

Best regards

Do you mirror two directions?

Hello nini09.

Let me try to give more details

This mirror is set on a Xenserver, into one xenbr bridge. The src and dst ports is the campus port, witch means that all vif's is in this bridge (include the output port of the server where I monitor it). My guet is that I made a loop.

Is this make sense?

Best regards.

In general, if mirroring two direction's traffic, you could make a internal loop. Normally, one direction is mirrored.
