Command context

Authority
Administrators or local user group members with execution rights for this command.
Usage
By default, mirroring sessions are disabled.
When a mirroring session is enabled, the
show mirror
command for that session ID shows an
Admin Status
of
enable
and an
Operation Status
of
enabled
.
If sFlow is enabled on an interface and a mirroring session specifies the same interface as the source of received traffic (the source is configured with a direction of

The attempt to enable the mirroring session fails and an error is returned.
When adding, removing, or changing the configuration of a source interface in an enabled mirroring session, packets from other mirror sources using the same destination interface might be interrupted.
