|
OVS Agent Traffic when V Series is down |
Enable this option to stop the OVS Agent from sending the traffic to the V Series node. You can stop the traffic either manually or automatically. Refer to Shutdown or Restart of OVS traffic to know more about the manual or automatic shut down and restart. |
|
Reboot threshold limit for UCT-V Controller down |
Specifies the number of times GigaVUE-FM tries to reach UCT-V Controller, when the UCT-V Controller moves to down state. GigaVUE-FM retries every 60 seconds. |

Traffic distribution tunnel MTU |
Specifies the MTU value for the traffic distribution tunnel. |
Note: A maximum of 100 OpenStack connections are allowed for an OpenStack module.
Shutdown or Restart of OVS traffic
GigaVUE‑FM allows you to stop or restart the traffic through OVS Mirroring based on the availability of V Series node.
GigaVUE‑FM helps you to stop the traffic when the V Series node is unreachable or unrecoverable, and restart it when the V Series node is reachable again in the following ways:
| Manual shutdown or restart of OVS traffic |
| Automatic shutdown or restart of OVS traffic |
Manual shutdown or restart of OVS traffic
The traffic sent from the OVS Mirroring Agent can be manually stopped and started.
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 is down. |
| 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 is down in the Advanced Settings.
Automatic shutdown or restart of OVS traffic
When the GigaVUE V Series node is deleted or changed to an unrecoverable state in the OpenStack platform, GigavUE-FM performs the action as explained in the following table:
|
V Series node Status in OpenStack |
Action in GigaVUE‑FM |
Action in GigaVUE‑FM when you enable the option |
|---|---|---|
| When a V Series node is deleted from the OpenStack platform |
GigaVUE‑FM automatically sets the status of that V Series node as terminated. |
In the Advanced Settings, when the OVS Agent Traffic when V Series is down checkbox is enabled, GigaVUE‑FM removes the source interfaces of OVS Mirroring agent |
| When a V Series Node is changed to a stopped or shutoff state in Openstack |
GigaVUE-FM Health monitoring module tries to start the V Series node. If unsuccessful after two attempts, GigaVUE-FM considers the V Series node to be unrecoverable. |
In the Advanced Settings, when the OVS Agent Traffic when V Series is down checkbox is enabled, GigaVUE‑FM removes the source interfaces of OVS Mirroring agent. |
| When a V Series node is in an active state and its connection to GigaVUE‑FM is restored | GigaVUE-FM Health Monitoring module determines V Series Node is in a healthy state. | In the Advanced Settings, when the OVS Agent Traffic when V Series is down checkbox is enabled, GigaVUE‑FM adds the source interfaces of the OVS Mirroring agent and restarts the OVS traffic. |
