Configuring the Sample Remote Port Mirroring
Remote port mirroring requires a source session (monitored ports on different source switches), a
reserved tagged VLAN for transporting mirrored traffic (configured on source, intermediate, and
destination switches), and a destination session (destination ports connected to analyzers on destination
switches).
Configuration Steps for RPM
Step Command Purpose
1 configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
2
monitor session <id> type rpm The <id> needs to be unique and not already defined
in the box specifying type as 'rpm' defines a RPM
session.
3 source Interface | Range
Specify the port or list of ports that needs to be
monitored
4
direction Specify rx, tx or both in case to monitor ingress/
egress or both ingress and egress packets on the
specified port..
5
rpm source-ip <id> dest-ip <id> Specify the source ip address and the destination ip
where the packet needs to be sent.
6
<no> flow-based enable Specify flow-based enable for mirroring on a flow by
flow basis and also for vlan as source.
7
no enable (Optional) No disable command is mandatory in
order for a rpm session to be active.
