Table 2. RPM on VLT scenarios (continued)
Scenario Recommendation
2. Create a flow 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. Configure 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 configured, 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 configured, 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.
