Configuring source ports for a local mirroring group
On the source device, configure the ports you want to monitor as the source ports. On the destination device, configure the physical interface corresponding to the tunnel interface as the source port.
To configure source ports for a mirroring group, use one of the following methods:
Assign a list of source ports to the mirroring group in system view.
Assign a port to the mirroring group as a source port in interface view.
To assign multiple ports to the mirroring group as source ports in interface view, repeat the operation.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure source ports for a local mirroring group, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
A Layer 2 or Layer 3 aggregate interface cannot be configured as a source port.
A mirroring group can contain multiple source ports.
A port can be assigned to different mirroring groups as follows:
When acting as a source port for unidirectional mirroring, the port can be assigned to up to four mirroring groups.
When acting as a source port for bidirectional mirroring, the port can be assigned to up to two mirroring groups.
When acting as a source port for unidirectional and bidirectional mirroring, the port can be assigned to up to three mirroring groups. One mirroring group is used for bidirectional mirroring and the other two for unidirectional mirroring.
A source port cannot be configured as a reflector port, egress port, or monitor port.
Configuring source ports in system view
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Configure source ports for a local mirroring group. | mirroring-group group-id mirroring-port interface-list { both | inbound | outbound } | By default, no source port is configured for a local mirroring group. |
Configuring source ports in interface view
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Configure the port as a source port for a local mirroring group. | mirroring-group group-id mirroring-port { both | inbound | outbound } | By default, a port does not act as a source port for any local mirroring groups. |
