Scenario Recommendation
Mirror an orphan port in the primary VLT device to any orphan port
on a secondary VLT device through the VLTi. The packet analyzer
connects to the secondary VLT device through the orphan port. In
this case, the mirroring packets duplicate.
—
Mirror a VLT LAG of the primary VLT device to any orphan port on
a secondary VLT device through the VLTi. The packet analyzer
connects to the secondary VLT device through the orphan port.
—
Mirror a member port of the VLTi LAG or VLT LAG to any orphan
port in the same device. The packet analyzer connects to the local
VLT device through the orphan port.
If the packet analyzer is directly connected to the VLT peer in
which the source session is configured, use local port monitoring
instead of RPM.
Mirror a member port of VLTi LAG to the VLT LAG on the same
VLT device. The packet analyzer connects to the ToR switch.
—
Mirror a VLT LAG or VLT member port as part of the source VLAN
