Generic Commands

description

Syntax

description description-string

no description

Context

config>mirror>mirror-dest

config>mirror>mirror-dest>endpoint

Description

This command creates a text description stored in the configuration file for a configuration context to help the administrator identify the content of the file.

The no form of the command removes the description string from the configuration.

Default

no description

Parameters

description-string

the description character string. Allowed values are any string up to 80 characters long composed of printable, 7-bit ASCII characters. If the string contains special characters (#, $, spaces, etc.), the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.

shutdown

Syntax

[no] shutdown

Context

config>mirror>mirror-dest

config>mirror>mirror-dest>spoke-sdp

debug>mirror-source

Description

The shutdown command administratively disables an entity. The operational state of the entity is disabled as well as the operational state of any entities contained within. When disabled, an entity does not change, reset, or remove any configuration settings or statistics. Many objects must be shut down before they may be deleted. Many entities must be explicitly enabled using the no shutdown command.

Unlike other commands and parameters where the default state is not indicated in the configuration file, shutdown and no shutdown are always indicated in system-generated configuration files.

The no form of the command puts an entity into the administratively enabled state.

Default

shutdown (for mirror destination service ID)

no shutdown (for source destination service ID)

Special Cases

Mirror destination

When a mirror destination service ID is shut down, mirrored packets associated with the service ID are not accepted from the mirror source or remote source router. The associated mirror source is put into an operationally down mode. Mirrored packets are not transmitted out of the SAP or SDP. Each mirrored packet is silently discarded. If the mirror destination is a SAP, the SAP’s discard counters are incremented.

The shutdown command places the mirror destination service or mirror source into an administratively down state. The mirror-dest service ID must be shut down in order to delete the service ID, SAP or SDP association from the system.

The default state for a mirror destination service ID is shutdown. A no shutdown command is required to enable the service.

Mirror source

Mirror sources do not need to be shut down in order to remove them from the system.

When a mirror source is shutdown, mirroring is terminated for all sources defined locally for the mirror-dest service ID. If the remote-source command has been executed on the mirror-dest associated with the shutdown mirror-source, mirroring continues for remote sources.

The default state for a mirror source for a given mirror-dest service ID is no shutdown. A shutdown command is required to disable mirroring from that mirror source.
