Concept Guide

• A destination session that consists of multiple destination ports associated with the dedicated VLAN and located on dierent
destination switches.
Congure a dedicated L2 VLAN for Remote Port Mirroring :
Step Command Syntax Command Mode Task
1 interface vlan vlan-id CONFIGURATION
Create a VLAN to transport mirrored
trac in remote port mirroring.
Valid vlan-id values are 1 to 4094. The
default VLAN ID is not supported.
2 mode remote-port-mirroring VLAN INTERFACE Congure the dedicated L2 VLAN to
be used to transport mirrored trac in
remote port mirroring.
3 tagged interface VLAN INTERFACE
Congure a tagged port to carry
mirrored trac in the reserved VLAN.
Repeat this command to congure
additional tagged ports for the VLAN.
IMPORTANT: On a source switch on which you congure source ports for remote port mirroring, you can add only one port to
the dedicated RPM VLAN which is used to transport mirrored trac. You can congure multiple ports for the dedicated RPM
VLAN on intermediate and destination switches.
4 Repeat 1 & 3 Step On source, intermediate, and
destination switches on which
mirrored trac in the reserved L2
VLAN is transmitted.
To remove the remote-port mirroring assignment from a VLAN, enter the no mode remote-port-mirroring command.
Congure a Source Session on Multiple Switches:
Step
Command Syntax Command Mode Task
1 monitor session session-id CONFIGURATION
Congure a new remote-port mirroring
session or add or delete source ports
from an existing session, and enter
Monitor Session conguration mode.
Up to 4 source sessions are supported
on a switch. Refer to Conguration
Notes for information on datapath
limitations.
session-id: Session number used to
identify the mirroring session. Range:
0 - 65535.
2 source {single-interface | range
{interface-list | interface-range |
mixed-interface-list}} [vlan vlan-id |
vlan range {vlan-list | vlan-range |
mixed-vlan-list}] destination remote-
vlan vlan-id direction {rx | tx | both}
MONITOR SESSION Congure the dedicated L2 VLAN to
be used to transport mirrored trac in
remote port mirroring
Congure the source ports and
(optional) source VLANs with the
reserved VLAN used to transport
mirrored trac, and the ingress/
egress trac to be mirrored.
