Shutdown or Restart of OVS traffic

When the V Series node is unreachable or unavailable, GigaVUE‑FM helps you to stop the OVS Mirroring agent from sending the traffic to the V Series node in two ways:

■   Manual shutdown or restart of OVS traffic
■   Automatic shutdown or restart of OVS traffic

Manual shutdown or restart of OVS traffic

You can stop the OVS Mirroring agent from sending the traffic by shutting down or restarting the OVS traffic to the V Series node. You can use this option to shutdown the data interface.

To shut down or restart the OVS traffic manually, follow these steps:

1.   Go to Inventory > VIRTUAL > OpenStack, and then click Settings
2. Click the Settings drop-down, and then select Advanced Settings.
3. Enable the check box OVS Agent Traffic when V Series unreachable.
4. Click the Fabric tab.
5. Select the V Series node.
6. Click the Actions drop-down list and select Shut down OVS Traffic or Restart OVS Traffic as required.

Note:  You can view the Shut down OVS Traffic or Restart OVS Traffic options only when you enable the check box OVS Agent Traffic when V Series unreachable in the Advanced Settings.

Automatic shutdown or restart of OVS traffic

When GigaVUE-FM detects that the management interface of the V Series node is not reachable or unavailable, it automatically restarts or shuts down the V Series node.
