monitor the VLTi LAG interface member (ethernet 1/1/1) as
source.

Mirror a VLAN with a VLTi LAG as the member to the VLT LAG on
the same VLT device. The packet analyzer connects to the ToR
switch.
—
Mirror a VLT LAG of the ToR, or any port in the ToR to any orphan
port in the VLT device. Congure VLT nodes as intermediate
devices. The packet analyzer connects to the ToR switch.
—
Mirror a VLT LAG to any orphan port on the same VLT device. The
packet analyzer connects to the local VLT device through the
orphan port.
If the packet analyzer directly connects to the VLT peer where the
source session is congured, use local port monitoring instead of
RPM.
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 congured, 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
and destination VLAN. The packet analyzer connects to the ToR
switch.
