Hi
I have one physical NIC eno3( not the only NIC in my server) which multiple virtual machines will use.
My gold is to utilize OVS to monitor all traffic from the virtual machines using eno3
No physical switch involved!

I'm a bit confused about OVS.. In my understanding I should create OVS bridge assigned to eno3, then create one OVS intPort per VM, then assign the intports to the VMs. Then execute OVS "mirroring" command where I will select witch intports that will be mirrored and witch intport to send the mirrored traffic to.

I do see the intPorts in proxmox but, Im not able to assign them to a VM in proxmox. Do I understand this all wrong?

I attempted this configuration via GUI and using the example "Example 1: Bridge + Internal Ports + Untagged traffic" except the vlan part from https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Open_vSwitch

Yes I have rebooted several times
Code:
ovs-ofctl --version
ovs-ofctl (Open vSwitch) 2.7.0
OpenFlow versions 0x1:0x4
Any help would be much appreciated :)
