Configuring port mirroring Overview Port mirroring refers to the process of copying the packets passing through a port to the monitor port connecting to a monitoring device for packet analysis. Terminology The following terms are used in port mirroring configuration. Mirroring source The mirroring source can be one or more monitored ports, which are called "source ports." Packets passing through them are copied to a port connecting to a monitoring device for packet analysis. (The copies are called "mirrored packets.") The device where the mirroring source resides is called a "source device." Mirroring destination The mirroring destination is the destination port, also known as the monitor port, of mirrored packets and connects to the monitoring device. The device where the monitor port resides is called the "destination device." Mirrored packets are sent out of the monitor port to the monitoring device. A monitor port might receive multiple duplicates of a packet in some networks because it can monitor multiple mirroring sources. For example, assume that Port 1 is monitoring bidirectional traffic on Port 2 and Port 3 on the same device. If a packet travels from Port 2 to Port 3, two duplicates of the packet are received on Port 1. Mirroring direction The mirroring direction specifies that the inbound, outbound, or bidirectional traffic can be copied on a mirroring source. • Inbound-Copies packets received on a mirroring source. • Outbound-Copies packets sent out of a mirroring source. • Bidirectional-Copies packets received and sent on a mirroring source. Mirroring group Port mirroring is implemented through mirroring groups, which fall into local, remote source, and remote destination mirroring groups. For more information about the mirroring groups, see "Port mirroring classification and implementation." Reflector port, egress port, and remote probe VLAN A reflector port, remote probe VLAN, and an egress port are used for Layer 2 remote port mirroring. The remote probe VLAN specially transmits mirrored packets to the destination device. Both the reflector port and egress port reside on a source device and send mirrored packets to the remote probe VLAN. For more information about the reflector port, egress port, remote probe VLAN, and Layer 2 remote port mirroring, see "Port mirroring classification and implementation." 104

Configuring port mirroring

Overview

Port mirroring refers to the process of copying the packets passing through a port to the monitor port

connecting to a monitoring device for packet analysis.

Terminology

The following terms are used in port mirroring configuration.

Mirroring source

The mirroring source can be one or more monitored ports, which are called "source ports." Packets

passing through them are copied to a port connecting to a monitoring device for packet analysis. (The

copies are called "mirrored packets.") The device where the mirroring source resides is called a "source

device."

Mirroring destination

The mirroring destination is the destination port, also known as the monitor port, of mirrored packets and

connects to the monitoring device. The device where the monitor port resides is called the "destination

device." Mirrored packets are sent out of the monitor port to the monitoring device.

A monitor port might receive multiple duplicates of a packet in some networks because it can monitor

multiple mirroring sources. For example, assume that Port 1 is monitoring bidirectional traffic on Port 2

and Port 3 on the same device. If a packet travels from Port 2 to Port 3, two duplicates of the packet are

received on Port 1.

Mirroring direction

The mirroring direction specifies that the inbound, outbound, or bidirectional traffic can be copied on a

mirroring source.

•

Inbound

—Copies packets received on a mirroring source.

•

Outbound

—Copies packets sent out of a mirroring source.

•

Bidirectional

—Copies packets received and sent on a mirroring source.

Mirroring group

Port mirroring is implemented through mirroring groups, which fall into local, remote source, and remote

destination mirroring groups. For more information about the mirroring groups, see "

Port mirroring

classification and implementation

Reflector port, egress port, and remote probe VLAN

A reflector port, remote probe VLAN, and an egress port are used for Layer 2 remote port mirroring. The

remote probe VLAN specially transmits mirrored packets to the destination device. Both the reflector port

and egress port reside on a source device and send mirrored packets to the remote probe VLAN. For

more information about the reflector port, egress port, remote probe VLAN, and Layer 2 remote port

mirroring, see "
