Traffic mirroring is a feature of the router that allows for redirection of traffic from a specific port of 
the router to another port of the same router (local mirroring) or to a remote device (remote mirroring). 
Objective: Establish remote mirroring of traffic through VLAN 50 from gi1/0/11 interface to be sent 
to server for processing purposes.

  Create VLAN 50. 
  On gi 1/0/5 interface, add VLAN 50 in 'general' mode. 
Main configuration step: 
Specify VLAN that will be used for transmission of mirrored traffic: 
еsr1000(config)# port monitor remote vlan 50  
For gi 1/0/5 interface, specify a port for mirroring: 
еsr1000(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/5 
еsr1000(config-if-gi)# port monitor interface gigabitethernet 1/0/11  
For gi 1/0/5 interface, specify remote mirroring mode: 
еsr1000(config-if-gi)# port monitor remote 
Configuration changes will take effect when the configuration is applied: 
esr1000# commit 
Configuration has been successfully committed 
esr1000# confirm
