Configuration Example of Remote Port Mirroring
This example provides a sample configuration of remote port mirroring (RPM) on a source switch, an intermediate switch, and a
destination switch based on the following illustration.
Figure 97. RPM Configuration
Following are the port numbers referred in the above illustration:
• 1 is gigabitethernet 1/1
• 2 is gigabitethernet 1/2
• 4 is gigabitethernet 1/4
• 5 is gigabitethernet 1/5
• 7 is gigabitethernet 1/7
• 8 is gigabitethernet 1/8
Configuring Remote Port Mirroring on a source switch
The below configuration example shows that the source is a source port and the destination is the reserved VLAN (for example, remote-
vlan 10).
DellEMC(conf)# interface gigabitethernet 1/2
DellEMC(conf-if-gi-1/2)# switchport
DellEMC(conf-if-gi-1/2)# no shutdown
DellEMC(conf-if-gi-1/2)# exit
DellEMC(conf)#interface vlan 10
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)#mode remote-port-mirroring
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)#tagged gigabitethernet 1/2
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)#exit
DellEMC(conf)#
DellEMC(conf)#monitor session 1 type rpm
DellEMC(conf-mon-sess-1)#source gigabitethernet 1/1 destination remote-vlan 10 dir rx
DellEMC(conf-mon-sess-1)#no disable
DellEMC(conf-mon-sess-1)#exit
Configuring Remote Port Mirroring on an intermediate switch
Following is a sample configuration of RPM on an intermediate switch.
DellEMC(conf)#interface vlan 10
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)#mode remote-port-mirroring
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)#tagged gigabitethernet 1/4
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)#tagged gigabitethernet 1/5
DellEMC(conf-if-vl-10)#exit
