Mirroring Configuration
Configuring mirroring is similar to creating a uni-direction service. Mirroring requires the
configuration of:
• Mirror source - the traffic on a specific point(s) to mirror.
• Mirror destination - the location to send the mirrored traffic, where the sniffer will be
located.
Figure 63 depicts a local mirror service configured on ALA-A.
• Port 2/1/2 is specified as the source. Mirrored traffic ingressing and egressing this port
will be sent to port 2/1/3.
• SAP 2/1/3 is specified as the destination. The sniffer is physically connected to this port.
Mirrored traffic ingressing and egressing port 2/1/2 is sent here. SAP, encapsulation
requirements, packet slicing, and mirror classification parameters are configured. SDPs
are not used in local mirroring.
