Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation
Traffic Mirroring
before the source switch is configured to send mirrored traffic. This is done
by configuring the destination switch with the values determined for remote
mirroring in step 1, above.
Note A switch operating as a destination for mirrored traffic sessions can support
32 different remote sessions (and 4 local sessions). Multiple sessions can be
assigned to the same exit port or distributed to multiple exit ports.
Syntax: mirror endpoint ip < src-ip > < src-udp-port > < dst-ip > < port-# >
no mirror endpoint ip < src-ip > < src-udp-port > < dst-ip >
This command is used on a destination switch to establish
the endpoint for a specific mirroring session you will
configure on a remote mirroring source switch. The
command uniquely associates the mirrored traffic from the
desired session on the source switch with a specific exit port
on the destination switch. This is done by using the same
set of source and destination identifiers when configuring
the same session on both the source and destination
switches. Thus, for a given mirroring session, the <src-ip >,
< src-udp-port > and < dst-ip > for the mirror endpoint command
must be the same on both switches. To see this correspon-
dence, refer to the mirror command syntax under
“Configuring a Source Switch for a Mirroring Destination
on a Remote Switch” on page B-44.
The no form of the command deletes the mirroring endpoint
support for the configured session on the remote destination
switch.
Caution: Mirroring endpoint support for a given session
should not be removed if there are any remote source
switches currently configured to mirroring traffic to the
endpoint for that session. See also the Caution on page B-39.
< src-ip > : Must exactly match the < src-ip > setting you will
configure in the source switch for the remote mirroring
session the exit switch is being configured to support.
