Packets passing through mirroring sources are copied to a port connecting to a data monitoring device for packet analysis. The copies are called mirrored packets.

Source device

The device where the mirroring sources reside is called a source device.

Mirroring destination

The mirroring destination connects to a data monitoring device and is the destination port (also known as the monitor port) of mirrored packets. Mirrored packets are sent out of the monitor port to the data monitoring device.

A monitor port might receive multiple copies of a packet when it monitors multiple mirroring sources. For example, two copies of a packet are received on Port A when the following conditions exist:

· Port A is monitoring bidirectional traffic of Port B and Port C on the same device.

· The packet travels from Port B to Port C.

Destination device

The device where the monitor port resides is called the destination device.

Mirroring direction

The mirroring direction specifies the direction of the traffic that is copied on a mirroring source.

· Inbound—Copies packets received.

· Outbound—Copies packets sent.

· Bidirectional—Copies packets received and sent.

Mirroring group

Port mirroring is implemented through mirroring groups. Mirroring groups can be classified into local mirroring groups, remote source groups, and remote destination groups.

Reflector port, egress port, and remote probe VLAN

Reflector ports, remote probe VLANs, and egress ports are used for Layer 2 remote port mirroring. The remote probe VLAN is a dedicated VLAN for transmitting mirrored packets to the destination device. Both the reflector port and egress port reside on a source device and send mirrored packets to the remote probe VLAN.

On port mirroring devices, all ports except source, destination, reflector, and egress ports are called common ports.

Port mirroring classification

Port mirroring includes the following types:

· Local port mirroring—Also known as Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN). In local port mirroring, the source device is directly connected to a data monitoring device. The source device acts as the destination device to forward mirrored packets to the data monitoring device.

· Remote port mirroring—In remote port mirroring, the source device is not directly connected to a data monitoring device. The source device copies mirrored packets to the destination device, which forwards them to the data monitoring device. Depending on how the source device and the destination device are connected, remote port mirroring includes the following types:

¡ Layer 2 remote port mirroring—Also known as Remote SPAN (RSPAN). The source device and destination device are connected through a Layer 2 network.

¡ Layer 3 remote port mirroring—Also known as Encapsulated Remote SPAN (ERSPAN). The source device and destination device are connected through a Layer 3 network.

Local port mirroring (SPAN)

Figure 1 Local port mirroring implementation

‌

As shown in Figure 1, the source port (Port A) and the monitor port (Port B) reside on the same device. Packets received on Port A are copied to Port B. Port B then forwards the packets to the data monitoring device for analysis.

Layer 2 remote port mirroring (RSPAN)

In Layer 2 remote port mirroring, the mirroring sources and destination reside on different devices and are in different mirroring groups.

A remote source group is a mirroring group that contains the mirroring sources. A remote destination group is a mirroring group that contains the mirroring destination. Intermediate devices are the devices between the source device and the destination device.

Layer 2 remote port mirroring can be implemented through the reflector port method or the egress port method.

Reflector port method

In Layer 2 remote port mirroring that uses the reflector port method, packets are mirrored as follows:

1. The source device copies packets received on the mirroring sources to the reflector port.

2. The reflector port broadcasts the mirrored packets in the remote probe VLAN.

3. The intermediate devices transmit the mirrored packets to the destination device through the remote probe VLAN.

4. Upon receiving the mirrored packets, the destination device determines whether the ID of the mirrored packets is the same as the remote probe VLAN ID. If the two VLAN IDs match, the destination device forwards the mirrored packets to the data monitoring device through the monitor port.

Figure 2 Layer 2 remote port mirroring implementation through the reflector port method

‌

Egress port method

In Layer 2 remote port mirroring that uses the egress port method, packets are mirrored as follows:

1. The source device copies packets received on the mirroring sources to the egress port.

2. The egress port forwards the mirrored packets to the intermediate devices.

3. The intermediate devices flood the mirrored packets in the remote probe VLAN and transmit the mirrored packets to the destination device.

Figure 3 Layer 2 remote port mirroring implementation through the egress port method

‌

Layer 3 remote port mirroring (ERSPAN)

Layer 3 remote port mirroring encapsulates mirrored packets in GRE packets with a protocol number of 0x88BE and routes the packets to the remote monitoring device.

The switch series supports implementing Layer 3 remote port mirroring in encapsulation parameter mode.

Layer 3 remote port mirroring in encapsulation parameter mode

To implement Layer 3 remote port mirroring in encapsulation parameter mode, perform the following tasks:

1. On the source device, create a local mirroring group and configure the mirroring sources, the monitor port, and the encapsulation parameters for mirrored packets.

2. On all devices from source to destination, configure a unicast routing protocol to ensure Layer 3 reachability between the devices.

Create a local mirroring group on the source device, and specify the source ports and monitor port for the local mirroring group. When configuring the monitor port, specify the following encapsulation parameters for mirrored packets:

· Monitoring device IP address as destination IP address.

· Monitor port IP address as source IP address.

As shown in Figure 4, Layer 3 remote port mirroring in encapsulation parameter mode works as follows:

1. The source device copies a packet passing through a source port.

2. The source device encapsulates the copied packet with the specified encapsulation parameters, monitoring device IP as destination IP and monitor port IP as source IP.

3. The encapsulated packet is routed to the monitoring device through the IP network.

4. The monitoring device decapsulates the packet and analyzes the packet contents.

The packet sent to the monitoring device through Layer 3 remote port mirroring in encapsulation parameter mode is encapsulated. In this mode, make sure the monitoring device supports decapsulating packets.

Figure 4 Layer 3 remote port mirroring in encapsulation parameter mode

‌

Restrictions and guidelines: Port mirroring configuration

The reflector port method for Layer 2 remote port mirroring can be used to implement local port mirroring with multiple data monitoring devices.

In the reflector port method, the reflector port broadcasts mirrored packets in the remote probe VLAN. By assigning the ports that connect to data monitoring devices to the remote probe VLAN, you can implement local port mirroring to mirror packets to multiple data monitoring devices. The egress port method cannot implement local port mirroring in this way.

For inbound traffic mirroring, the VLAN tag in the original packet is copied to the mirrored packet.

For outbound traffic mirroring, the mirrored packet carries the VLAN tag of the egress interface.

Port mirroring and flow mirroring are mutually exclusive on the same port. If you first configure port mirroring and then configure flow mirroring on a port, only port mirroring takes effect. If you first configure flow mirroring and then port mirroring on a port, flow mirroring first takes effect, and port mirroring takes effect on packets that do not match flow mirroring.

Configuring local port mirroring (SPAN)

Restrictions and guidelines for local port mirroring configuration

A local mirroring group takes effect only after it is configured with the monitor port and mirroring sources.

A Layer 2 or Layer 3 aggregate interface cannot be configured as a source port for a local mirroring group. You can configure a member port of a Layer 2 or Layer 3 aggregate interface as a source port for a local mirroring group.

A Layer 2 or Layer 3 aggregate interface cannot be configured as the monitor port for a local mirroring group.

A member port of an aggregate group cannot be configured as the monitor port.

Configuring local port mirroring group with multiple monitoring devices

About local port mirroring with multiple monitoring devices

To monitor interesting traffic passing through a device on multiple directly connected data monitoring devices, configure local port mirroring with a remote probe VLAN as follows:

1. Configure a remote source group on the device.

2. Configure mirroring sources and a reflector port for the remote source group.

3. Specify a VLAN as the remote probe VLAN and assign the ports connecting to the data monitoring devices to the VLAN.

This configuration enables the device to copy packets received on the mirroring sources to the reflector port, which broadcasts the packets in the remote probe VLAN. The packets are then sent out of the member ports of the remote probe VLAN to the data monitoring devices.

Restrictions and guidelines

The reflector port must be a port not in use. Do not connect a network cable to the reflector port.

When a port is configured as a reflector port, the port restores to the factory default settings. You cannot configure other features on the reflector port.

Do not assign a source port of a mirroring group to the remote probe VLAN of the mirroring group.

A VLAN can act as the remote probe VLAN for only one remote source group. As a best practice, use the VLAN for port mirroring exclusively. Do not create a VLAN interface for the VLAN or configure other features for the VLAN.

The remote probe VLAN must be a static VLAN.

To delete a VLAN that has been configured as the remote probe VLAN for a mirroring group, remove the remote probe VLAN from the mirroring group first.

The device supports only one remote probe VLAN.

Configuring Layer 2 remote port mirroring (RSPAN)

Restrictions and guidelines for Layer 2 remote port mirroring configuration

To ensure successful traffic mirroring, configure devices in the order of the destination device, the intermediate devices, and the source device.

If intermediate devices exist, configure the intermediate devices to allow the remote probe VLAN to pass through.

For a mirrored packet to successfully arrive at the remote destination device, make sure its VLAN ID is not removed or changed.

Do not configure both MVRP and Layer 2 remote port mirroring. Otherwise, MVRP might register the remote probe VLAN with incorrect ports, which would cause the monitor port to receive undesired copies. For more information about MVRP, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

To monitor the bidirectional traffic of a source port, disable MAC address learning for the remote probe VLAN on the source, intermediate, and destination devices. For more information about MAC address learning, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

The member port of a Layer 2 or Layer 3 aggregate interface cannot be configured as the monitor port for Layer 2 remote port mirroring.

Configuring flow mirroring

About flow mirroring

Flow mirroring copies packets matching a class to a destination for packet analyzing and monitoring. It is implemented through QoS.

To implement flow mirroring through QoS, perform the following tasks:

· Define traffic classes and configure match criteria to classify packets to be mirrored. Flow mirroring allows you to flexibly classify packets to be analyzed by defining match criteria.

· Configure traffic behaviors to mirror the matching packets to the specified destination.

You can configure an action to mirror the matching packets to one of the following destinations:

· Interface—The matching packets are copied to an interface and then forwarded to a data monitoring device for analysis.

· Monitoring group—The matching packets are copied to the member interface of a monitoring group and then forwarded to the data monitoring devices directly connected to the interface.

· CPU—The matching packets are copied to the CPU of an IRF member device. The CPU analyzes the packets or delivers them to upper layers.

For more information about QoS policies, traffic classes, and traffic behaviors, see ACL and QoS Configuration Guide.

Types of flow-mirroring traffic to an interface

Depending on whether the mirroring source and mirroring destination are on the same device, flow-mirroring traffic to an interface includes the following types:

· Flow mirroring SPAN—Flow-mirrors traffic to a local interface.

· Flow mirroring RSPAN—Flow-mirrors traffic to an interface, and then forwards traffic to a remote Layer 2 interface based on the VLAN of the mirrored traffic or through QoS traffic redirecting.

· Flow mirroring ERSPAN—Encapsulates traffic in GRE packets with protocol number 0x88BE and routes the traffic to a remote monitoring device at Layer 3.

Flow mirroring SPAN or RSPAN

For flow mirroring SPAN, configure a QoS policy on the source device. Configure the QoS policy as follows:

1. Configure a traffic class to match packets.

2. Configure a traffic behavior to flow-mirror traffic to an interface.

3. Associate the traffic class with the traffic behavior.

When the device receives a matching packet, the device sends one copy of the packet to the interface specified by the traffic behavior. The interface forwards the mirrored packet to the monitoring device.

Figure 10 Flow mirroring SPAN

‌

To implement RSPAN, forward the mirrored packet to a remote Layer 2 interface based on the VLAN of the mirrored packet or through QoS traffic redirecting.

Flow mirroring ERSPAN

Flow mirroring ERSPAN can be implemented in monitoring group mode.

On all devices from source to destination, configure a unicast routing protocol to ensure Layer 3 reachability between the devices.

Encapsulation parameter mode

In this mode, configure a QoS policy on the source device. Configure the QoS policy as follows:

1. Configure a traffic class to match packets.

2. Configure a traffic behavior to flow-mirror traffic to an interface.

3. Associate the traffic class with the traffic behavior.

You can specify both the outgoing interface and encapsulation parameters when configuring flow-mirroring traffic to an interface. The device encapsulates packets with the specified parameters and then forwards packets out of the specified interface.

In this mode, you can use the load sharing function of a routing protocol to forward mirrored packets to multiple destination interfaces.

As shown in Figure 11, flow mirroring ERSPAN in encapsulation parameter mode works as follows:

1. The source device copies a matching packet.

2. The source device encapsulates the packet with the specified ERSPAN encapsulation parameters.

3. The source device forwards the mirrored packets out of the specified outgoing interface.

4. The encapsulated packet is routed to the monitoring device.

5. The monitoring device decapsulates the packet and analyzes the packet contents.

The packet sent to the monitoring device through flow mirroring in this mode is encapsulated. In this mode, make sure the monitoring device supports decapsulating packets.

Figure 11 Flow mirroring ERSPAN in encapsulation parameter mode

‌

Monitoring group mode

As shown in Figure 12, flow mirroring ERSPAN in monitoring group mode works as follows:

1. On the source device, configure a monitoring group, add member interfaces to the monitoring group, and configure the encapsulation parameters for the member interfaces.

2. On the source device, apply a QoS policy as follows:

a. Configure a traffic class to match packets.

b. Configure a traffic behavior to mirror traffic to the monitoring group.

c. Create a QoS policy, and associate the traffic class with the traffic behavior in the QoS policy.

d. Apply the QoS policy.

3. The source device copies a matching packet and mirrors the packet to the monitoring group. The member interfaces of the monitoring group encapsulate the packet with the specified encapsulation parameters.

4. The source device forwards the packet in either of the following methods:

¡ Forwards the mirrored packet out of the specified outgoing interface.

¡ Looks up a route for the encapsulated mirrored packet based on the source IP address and destination IP address of the encapsulated packet.

5. The encapsulated packet is routed to the monitoring device.

6. The monitoring device decapsulates the packet and analyzes the packet contents.

The packet sent to the monitoring device through flow mirroring in this mode is encapsulated. In this mode, make sure the monitoring device supports decapsulating packets.
