Configuring a destination switch in a remote mirroring session
When configuring a remote mirroring session, always configure the destination switch first. Configuring the source switch first can result in a large volume of mirrored, IPv4-encapsulated traffic arriving at the destination without an exit path, which can slow switch performance.
Syntax
mirror endpoint ip src-ip src-udp-port dst-ip exit-port-# no mirror endpoint ip src-ip src-udp-port dst-ip
Used on a destination switch to configure the remote endpoint of a mirroring session. The command uniquely associates the mirrored traffic from the desired session on a monitored source with a remote exit port on the destination switch. You must use the same set of source and destination parameters used when you configure the same session on both the source and destination switches.
For a given mirroring session, the same
src-ip
,
src-udp-port
and
dst-ip
values must be entered with the
mirror endpoint ip command on the destination switch, and later with the
mirror remote ip command on the source switch.
Do not remove the configuration of a remote mirroring endpoint support for a given session if there are source switches currently configured to mirror traffic to the endpoint.
src-ip
|
Must exactly match the src-ip address you configure on the source switch for the remote session. |
src-udp-port
|
Must exactly match the
|
dst-ip
|
Must exactly match the
|
exit-port-#
|
Exit port for mirrored traffic in the remote session, to which a traffic analyzer or IDS is connected. |
The
no form of the command deletes the mirroring endpoint for the configured session on the remote destination switch.
