gre: introduce native tunnel support for ERSPAN
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The patch adds ERSPAN type II tunnel support.  The implementation
is based on the draft at [1].  One of the purposes is for Linux
box to be able to receive ERSPAN monitoring traffic sent from
the Cisco switch, by creating a ERSPAN tunnel device.
In addition, the patch also adds ERSPAN TX, so Linux virtual
switch can redirect monitored traffic to the ERSPAN tunnel device.
The traffic will be encapsulated into ERSPAN and sent out.

The implementation reuses tunnel key as ERSPAN session ID, and
field 'erspan' as ERSPAN Index fields:
./ip link add dev ers11 type erspan seq key 100 erspan 123 \
			local 172.16.1.200 remote 172.16.1.100

To use the above device as ERSPAN receiver, configure
Nexus 5000 switch as below:

monitor session 100 type erspan-source
  erspan-id 123
  vrf default
  destination ip 172.16.1.200
  source interface Ethernet1/11 both
  source interface Ethernet1/12 both
  no shut
monitor erspan origin ip-address 172.16.1.100 global
