Chapter 36 Mirror Configuration

36.1 Introduction to Mirror

Mirror functions include port mirror function, flow mirror function.

Port mirror refers to the duplication of data frames sent/received on a port to another port. The

duplicated port is referred to as mirror source port and the duplicating port is referred to as

mirror destination port. A protocol analyzer (such as Sniffer) or a RMON monitor will be

connected at mirror destination port to monitor and manage the network, and diagnose the

problems in the network.

Flow mirror function means that the switch exactly copies the data frames received or by the

specified rule of a port to another port. The flow mirror will take effect only the specified rule is

permit.

A chassis switch supports at most 4 mirror destination ports, each boardcard allows a source

or destination port of a mirror session. At present, each box switch can set many mirror

sessions. There is no limitation on mirror source ports, one port or several ports is allowed.

When there are more than one source ports, they can be in the same VLAN or in different

VLAN. The source port and destination port can be in different VLAN.
