When configuring the source switch, note that:
z The S3100-SI series do not support the both keyword in the source port
configuration for a remote source mirroring group.
z All ports of a remote source mirroring group are on the same device. Each remote
source mirroring group can be configured with only one reflector port.
z The reflector port cannot be a member port of an aggregation group, or a port
enabled with LACP or STP. It must be an access port and cannot be configured
with the functions like VLAN-VPN, port loopback detection, packet filtering, QoS,
port security, and so on.
z It is recommended not to configure the VLAN mapping and the selective QinQ
function on the reflector port; otherwise, port mirroring may not function properly.
z You cannot modify the duplex mode, port rate, and MDI attribute of a reflector port.
z Only an existing static VLAN can be configured as the remote-probe VLAN. To
remove a remote-probe VLAN, you need to restore it to a normal VLAN first. A
remote port mirroring group gets invalid if the corresponding remote port mirroring
VLAN is removed.
z Do not configure a port connecting the intermediate switch or destination switch as
the mirroring source port. Otherwise, traffic disorder may occur in the network.
II. Configuration on a switch acting as an intermediate switch
1) Configuration prerequisites
z The trunk ports and the remote-probe VLAN are determined.
z Layer 2 connectivity is ensured between the source and destination switches over
the remote-probe VLAN.
2) Configuration procedure
