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. |
