In the local session,
inbound traffic entering Switch A is monitored on port A2 and mirrored
to a destination (host), traffic analyzer 1, through exit port A15
on the switch.A local mirroring session
means that the monitored interface (A2) and exit port (A15) are on
the same switch.
In the remote session,
inbound traffic entering Switch A is monitored on port A1. A mirrored
copy of monitored traffic is routed through the network to a remote
mirroring endpoint: exit port B7 on Switch B. A destination device,
traffic analyzer 2, is connected to the remote exit port.A remote mirroring session means that:
The monitored interface
(A1) and exit port (B7) are on different switches.
Mirrored traffic can
be bridged or routed from a source switch to a remote switch.
