Yes, that is correct.

Ah, I see.

Is there a way to get an external network interface (that happens to be
a target of an external switch's port mirror/monitor session) to pass
through to a VM?  A way that still allows for live migration would be
best of course, but even without that would be a start.

Thanks.
