PORT MIRRORING AND REMOTE MIRRORING COMMANDS
VLAN
MODE REMOTE-MIRROR-VLAN
vlan mode remote-mirror-vlan
Overview Use this command to create a single VLAN or a range of VLANs in remote mirror
mode to be used for remote mirroring.
Use the no variant of this command to remove the remote mirror VLAN from the
VLAN database and its configurations.
Syntax
vlan [<vid>|<vid-range>] mode remote-mirror-vlan
no vlan [<vid>|<vid-range>]
Default There is no remote mirror VLAN by default.
Mode VLAN Configuration
Usage This remote mirror VLAN needs to be configured on the remote mirroring source
device, the destination (receiving) device, and any devices in between that are to
forward the mirrored traffic. We recommend configuring this on the receiving
device and intermediate devices before configuring the source device.
The remote mirror VLAN operates in a special mode— all traffic on the remote
mirror VLAN is flooded, and no learning or CPU processing is done for packets in
the VLAN. BPDU packets (link-local packets used to control features like spanning
tree or AMF) are dropped on remote mirror VLANs.
Disabling the remote-mirroring VLAN on the source switch does not prevent the
mirrored packets from being sent with the remote-mirror VLAN tag. To stop the
mirroring, the command no remote-mirror interface must be used.
Example To create a VLAN with VLAN ID 3 in remote mirror VLAN mode, use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# vlan database
awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 3 mode remote-mirror-vlan
To remove the remote mirror VLAN with ID 3, use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# vlan database
awplus(config-vlan)# no vlan 3
