Overview

You cannot receive traffic on the Exinda and are unable to view traffic in real time. You have a SPAN mirror configuration on the switch, your Exinda is on a Xen server. 

Solution

1. Please see the article SPAN and Mirror Port Monitoring to properly set up the mirror port.
2. Change the NIC speed to match the switch. See the article on NIC Settings.
3. Enable promiscuous on the interfaces by following this article: Setting Up Mirror Ports on a Citrix Virtual Exinda
4. Enable promiscuous on xenbridges. For example, for xenbr1, use the command:
   

   ifconfig xenbr1 promisc

5. Set mirror functionality on the xen server to allow traffic to go from the interface to the virtual interface using the following command:
   
   

   ovs-vsctl -- set Bridge xenbr1 mirrors=@m -- --id=@<physical_port> get
   Port <physical_port> -- --id=@<virtual_port> get Port <virtual_port>
   -- --id=@m create Mirror name=<physical_port>-mirror select-dst-port=@<physical_port>
   select-src-port=@<physical_port> output-port=@<virtual_port>

Testing

Check to see traffic can now be viewed in real time. The Exinda is receiving traffic as intended.
