Configuring a remote mirror service

For remote mirroring, the source and destination are configured on the different routers. Note that mirror source and mirror destination parameters must be configured under the same service ID context.

When using L2TPv3, MPLS-TP or LDP IPv6 LSP spoke SDPs in a remote mirroring solution, configure the destination node with remote-src>spoke-sdp entries. For all other types of SDPs use remote-src>far-end entries.

Figure: Remote mirrored service tasks shows the mirror destination, which is on ALA-A, configuration for mirror service 1216. This configuration specifies that the mirrored traffic coming from the mirror source (10.10.0.91) is to be directed to SAP 4/1/58 and states that the service only accepts traffic from far end 10.10.0.92 (ALA-B) with an ingress service label of 5678. When a forwarding class is specified, then all mirrored packets transmitted to the destination SAP or SDP override the default (be) forwarding class. The slice size limits the size of the stream of packet through the router and the core network.

The following example shows the CLI output showing the configuration of remote mirrored service 1216. The traffic ingressing and egressing port 1/1/60 on 10.10.0.92 (ALA-B) is mirrored to the destination SAP 1/1/58:0 on ALA-A.

*A:ALA-A>config>mirror# info
----------------------------------------------
        mirror-dest 1216 create
            description "Receiving mirror traffic from .91"
            remote-source
                far-end 10.10.0.91 ing-svc-label 5678
            exit
            sap 1/1/58:0 create
                egress
                    qos 1
                exit
            exit
            no shutdown
        exit
----------------------------------------------
*A:ALA-A>config>mirror#

The following example shows the remote mirror destination configured on ALA-B:

*A:ALA-B>config>mirror># info
----------------------------------------------
mirror-dest 1216 create
description "Sending mirrored traffic to .92"
fc h1
spoke-sdp 4:60 create
egress
vc-label 5678
exit
no shutdown
exit
slice-size 128
no shutdown
exit
----------------------------------------------
*A:ALA-B>config>mirror#

The following example shows the mirror source configuration for ALA-B:

*A:ALA-B# show debug mirror
debug
        mirror-source 1216
        port 1/1/60 egress ingress
        no shutdown
    exit
exit
*A:ALA-B#

The following example is an alternative for mirror source configuration:

*A:ALA-B# config>mirror#info
        mirror-source 1216
        port 1/1/60 egress ingress
        no shutdown
    exit
*A:ALA-B#

The following example shows the SDP configuration from ALA-A to ALA-B (SDP 2) and the SDP configuration from ALA-B to ALA-A (SDP 4):

*A:ALA-A>config>service>sdp# info
---------------------------------------------
            description "GRE-10.10.0.91"
            far-end 10.10.0.01
            no shutdown
---------------------------------------------
*A:ALA-A>config>service>sdp#


*A:ALA-B>config>service>sdp# info
----------------------------------------------
            description "GRE-10.10.20.92"
            far-end 10.10.10.103
            no shutdown
----------------------------------------------
*A:ALA-B>config>service>sdp#
