Common Configuration Tasks

This section provides a brief overview of the tasks that must be performed to configure both local and remote mirror services and provides the CLI command syntax. Local and remote mirror source and mirror destination components must be configured under the same service ID context.

Each local mirrored service (within the same router) (Figure: Local Mirrored Service Tasks) requires the following configurations:

  1. Specify the mirror destination (SAP).

  2. Specify the mirror source (port).

Each remote mirrored service (across the network core) (Figure: Remote Mirrored Service Tasks) requires the following configurations:

  1. Define the remote destination (SDP).

  2. Identify the remote source (the device allowed to mirror traffic to this device).

  3. Specify the mirror destination (SAP).

  4. Specify the mirror source (port).
