Mirror Services
7750 SR OS Services Guide Page 1303
Figure 64 depicts a remote mirror service configured as ALA B as the mirror source and ALA A
as the mirror destination. Mirrored traffic ingressing and egressing port 5/2/1 (the source) on ALA
B is handled the following ways:
• Port 5/2/1 is specified as the mirror source port. Parameters are defined to select specific
traffic ingressing and egressing this port.
Destination parameters are defined to specify where the mirrored traffic will be sent. In
this case, mirrored traffic will be sent to a SAP configured as part of the mirror service on
port 3/1/3 on ALA A (the mirror destination).
ALA A decodes the service ID and sends the traffic out of port 3/1/3.
The sniffer is physically connected to this port (3/1/3). SAP, encapsulation requirements,
packet slicing, and mirror classification parameters are configured in the destination
parameters.
