Mirroring VLT LAG across VLT Peers —
In this scenario, the VLT LAG on the
primary VLT peer is mirrored to an
orphan port on the secondary VLT peer
through the ICL LAG. The packet
analyzer is connected to the secondary
VLT peer.
No restrictions apply to the RPM
session. The following example shows
the configuration on the primary VLT
device:source VLT LAG
destination remote vlan
direction rx/tx/both.The
following example shows the
configuration on the secondary VLT
device:source remote vlan
destination orphan port.
None
Mirroring member port of ICL LAG to
Orphan Port of peer vlt device— In this
scenario, a member port of the ICL LAG
or a member port of the VLT LAG is
mirrored to an orphan port on the peer
VLT device. The packet analyzer is
connected to the peer VLT device.
The bandwidth of the VLTi link is
unnecessarily used by mirrored traffic if
max rate limit value is configured in the
RPM mirror session.
None.
Mirroring member port of ICL LAG to
VLT LAG — In this scenario, a member
port of the ICL LAG is mirrored to the
VLT LAG on the same VLT device. The
packet analyzer is connected to the TOR
switch.
No restrictions apply. The bandwidth of
the VLTi link is unnecessarily used by
mirrored traffic if max rate limit value is
configured in the RPM mirror session.
If you want to mirror traffic in the TOR
locally, use local Port mirroring session
instead of RPM.
Mirroring with a VLAN as source and
destination — If the members of the
source and destination VLANs are same
in a single monitoring session.
No restrictions apply. None.
Mirroring with an interface or LAG as
source and destination --- If the source
and destination interface or LAG of a
monitor session are same.
No restrictions apply. None.
