Reference Guide
Scenario Recommendation
1 Create an L2 ACL for the local session and attach it to the 
VLTi LAG interface.
!
mac access-list span
seq 10 permit any any capture session 10
!
interface ethernet 1/1/1
no shutdown
switchport access vlan 1
mac access-group span in
!
2 Create a ow based local session on the VLT device to 
monitor VLTi LAG interface member (ethernet 1/1/1) as 
source.
!
monitor session 10 type
destination interface ethernet 1/1/10 flow-
based enable
source interface ethernet1/1/1
no shut
!
Mirror a VLAN with VLTi LAG as member to VLT LAG on the same 
VLT device. The packet analyzer is connected to the TOR switch.
—
Mirror VLT LAG of TOR, or any port in the TOR to any orphan port 
in the VLT device. Congure VLT nodes as intermediate device. The 
packet analyzer is connected to the TOR switch.
—
Mirror VLT LAG to any orphan port on the same VLT device. The 
packet analyzer is connected to the local VLT device through the 
orphan port.
If the packet analyzer is directly connected to the VLT peer in 
which the source session is congured, use local port monitoring 
instead of RPM.
Mirror an orphan port in primary VLT device to any orphan port on 
secondary VLT device through VLTi. The packet analyzer is 
connected to the secondary VLT device through the orphan port. In 
this case, the mirroring packets are duplicated.
—
Mirror VLT LAG of the primary VLT device to any orphan port on 
secondary VLT device through VLTi. The packet analyzer is 
connected to the secondary VLT device through the orphan port.
—
Mirror a member port of VLTi LAG or VLT LAG to any orphan port 
in the same device. The packet analyzer is connected to the local 
VLT device through the orphan port.
If the packet analyzer is directly connected to the VLT peer in 
which the source session is congured, use local port monitoring 
instead of RPM.
Mirror a member port of VLTi LAG to VLT LAG on the same VLT 
device. The packet analyzer is connected to the TOR switch.
—
Mirror VLT LAG or VLT member port as part of source VLAN and 
destination VLAN. The packet analyzer is connected to the TOR 
switch.
