Usage
Enables the mirroring session specified by the current command context.
By default, mirroring sessions are disabled.
When a mirroring session is enabled, the
show mirror command for that session ID shows an
Admin Status of
enable and an
Operation Status of
enabled.
If sFlow is enabled on a port and a mirroring session specifies the same port as a source of received traffic (the source is configured with a direction of
rx or
both):
The attempt to enable the mirroring session fails and an error is returned.
To enable the mirroring session, first you must disable sFlow on that port.
When adding, removing, or changing the configuration of a source port in an enabled mirroring session, packets from other mirror sources using the same destination port might be interrupted.
Example
Configuring and enabling a mirroring session:
switch(config)# mirror session 3 switch(config-mirror-3)# source interface 1/1/2 rx switch(config-mirror-3)# destination interface 1/1/3 switch(config-mirror-3)# comment Monitor router port ingress-only traffic switch(config-mirror-3)# enable
