LAG — In this scenario, a member port of
the ICL LAG is mirrored to the VLT LAG on
the same VLT device. The packet analyzer is
connected to the TOR switch.
No restrictions apply. The bandwidth of the
VLTi link is unnecessarily used by mirrored
traffic if max rate limit value is configured in
the RPM mirror session.
If you want to mirror traffic in the TOR
locally, use local Port mirroring session
instead of RPM.
