port mirroring
Restrictions
Note the following restrictions:
• Unless you are mirroring the traffic form the Control Module, you must specify either
an input port or an output slot.
• You cannot specify the any keyword with both the traffic-from and traffic-to options
at the same time.
• None of the ports on the slot containing the protocol analyzer port can send or receive
traffic while port mirroring is taking place. When a port is selected to receive mirrored
traffic, none of the other ports on the line card can be used for normal traffic. For this
reason, the protocol analyzer port cannot be on the same slot (line card) as the mirrored
port(s).
• Do not configure an interface on the protocol analyzer port.
• Port Mirroring is not currently supported for WAN ports.
Examples
To copy traffic coming from port et.3.1 and going to any slot, enter the following
command. The copied traffic is sent to port et.1.1, to which the protocol analyzer is
attached.
To copy traffic coming from any port and going to slot 4, enter the following command.
The copied traffic is sent to port et.1.1, to which the protocol analyzer is attached.
To capture all traffic going to and from the Control Module, enter the following command.
The copied traffic is sent to port et.1.1, to which the protocol analyzer is attached.
ssr(config)# port mirroring to et.1.1 traffic-from et.3.1 traffic-to any
ssr(config)# port mirroring to et.1.1 traffic-from any traffic-to 4
ssr(config)# port mirroring to et.1.1 cpu-port-traffic
