Configuration Procedure for Remote Port Mirroring
To configure remote port mirroring, you must configure the below steps :
A reserved L2 VLAN used to transport (switched) mirrored packets on source, intermediate, and destination switches.
A source session that consists of multiple source ports and port channels, and (optionally) source VLANs, which are on
different source switches and associated with the dedicated VLAN.
A destination session that consists of multiple destination ports associated with the dedicated VLAN and located on different
destination switches.
Configure a dedicated L2 VLAN for Remote Port Mirroring :
