Configuration Example of Remote Port Mirroring with flow-based enabled
This example provides a sample configuration of remote port mirroring with the flow based monitoring enabled.
Configuring Remote Port Mirroring on source switch
The below configuration example shows that the source is a source VLAN and the destination is the reserved VLAN (for
example, remote-vlan 20) with the flow based monitoring enabled.
DellEMC(conf)#interface vlan 100
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-100)#tagged tengigabitethernet 1/1/1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-100)#exit
DellEMC(conf)#interface vlan 20
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-20)#mode remote-port-mirroring
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-20)#tagged tengigabitethernet 1/1/2/1
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-20)#exit
DellEMC(conf)#monitor session 2 type rpm
DellEMC(conf-mon-sess-2)#source vlan 100 destination remote-vlan 20 dir rx
DellEMC(conf-mon-sess-2)#no disable
DellEMC(conf-mon-sess-2)#flow-based enable
DellEMC(conf-mon-sess-2)#exit
DellEMC(conf)#mac access-list standard mac_acl
DellEMC(config-std-macl)#permit 00:00:00:00:11:22 count monitor
DellEMC(config-std-macl)#exit
DellEMC(conf)#interface vlan 100
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-100)#mac access-group mac_acl1 in
