7210 SAS mirroring can be organized in the following logical entities:
The mirror source is defined as the location from where the traffic should be mirrored. A mirror source could be the ingress of a service entity or egress of a service entity. The list of mirror sources supported on a specific platform is listed in Table: Mirror source port requirements .
A SAP is defined in local mirror services as the mirror destination to where the mirrored packets are sent.
The 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C support remote mirroring. An SDP is used to define the mirror destination on the source router to point to a remote destination (another router).
