28 - 6 SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual
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 traf-
fic. 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.
Examples
Here are some examples of port mirroring commands.
ssr(config)# port mirroring to et.1.1 traffic-from et.3.1 traffic-to any
Copies traffic coming from port et.3.1 and going to any slot. 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 any traffic-to 4
Copies traffic coming from any port and going to slot 4. 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 cpu-port-traffic
Captures all traffic going to and from the Control Module. The copied traffic is
sent to port et.1.1, to which the protocol analyzer is attached.
