About port mirroring
Port mirroring copies the packets passing through a port to a port that connects to a data monitoring device for packet analysis.
Terminology
The following terms are used in port mirroring configuration.
Mirroring source
The mirroring sources can be one or more monitored ports called source ports.
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 can be classified into local port mirroring and remote port mirroring.
· Local port mirroring—The source device is directly connected to a data monitoring device. The source device also acts as the destination device and forwards mirrored packets directly to the data monitoring device.
· Remote port mirroring—The source device is not directly connected to a data monitoring device. The source device sends mirrored packets to the destination device, which forwards the packets to the data monitoring device.
Remote port mirroring is also known as Layer 2 remote port mirroring because the source device and destination device are on the same Layer 2 network.
Local port mirroring
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
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.
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 3 Layer 2 remote port mirroring implementation through the egress port method
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 monitor ports.
In the reflector port method, the reflector port broadcasts mirrored packets in the remote probe VLAN. By assigning ports that connects to data monitoring devices to the remote probe VLAN, you can implement local port mirroring to mirror packets to multiple monitor ports. 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 VLAN tag in the mirrored packet identifies the VLAN to which the packet belongs before it is sent out of the source port.
Configuring local port mirroring
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.

Configuring local port mirroring group with multiple monitoring devices
About local port mirroring with multiple monitoring devices
To monitor interested 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.

Configuring Layer 2 remote port mirroring
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 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.
· 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.
Restrictions and guidelines: Flow mirroring configuration
For information about the configuration commands except the mirror-to command, see ACL and QoS Command Reference.
Flow mirroring tasks at a glance
To configure flow mirroring, perform the following tasks:
1. Configuring a traffic class
A traffic class defines the criteria that filters the traffic to be mirrored.
2. Configuring a traffic behavior
A traffic behavior specifies mirroring destinations.
Choose one of the following tasks:
¡ Applying a QoS policy to an interface
¡ Applying a QoS policy to a VLAN
¡ Applying a QoS policy globally
Configuring a traffic class
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Create a class and enter class view.
traffic classifier classifier-name [ operator { and | or } ]
3. Configure match criteria.
if-match match-criteria
By default, no match criterion is configured in a traffic class.
4. (Optional.) Display traffic class information.
display traffic classifier
This command is available in any view.
Configuring a traffic behavior
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Create a traffic behavior and enter traffic behavior view.
traffic behavior behavior-name
3. Configure mirroring destinations for the traffic behavior. Choose the following tasks as needed:
¡ Mirror traffic to an interface.
mirror-to interface interface-type interface-number
By default, no mirroring actions exist to mirror traffic to interfaces.
You can mirror traffic to only one interface in a traffic behavior. If you execute this command for a traffic behavior multiple times, only the most recent configuration takes effect.
¡ Mirror traffic to the CPU.
mirror-to cpu
By default, no mirroring actions exist to mirror traffic to the CPU.
4. (Optional.) Display traffic behavior configuration.
display traffic behavior
This command is available in any view.
Configuring a QoS policy
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Create a QoS policy and enter QoS policy view.
qos policy policy-name
3. Associate a class with a traffic behavior in the QoS policy.
classifier classifier-name behavior behavior-name
By default, no traffic behavior is associated with a class.
4. (Optional.) Display QoS policy configuration.
display qos policy
This command is available in any view.
Applying a QoS policy
Applying a QoS policy to an interface
Restrictions and guidelines
You can apply a QoS policy to an interface to mirror the traffic of the interface.
A policy can be applied to multiple interfaces.
You can apply only one QoS policy to an interface to mirror the inbound traffic. Outbound traffic of an interface cannot be mirrored.
Procedure
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type interface-number
3. Apply a policy to the interface.
qos apply policy policy-name inbound
4. (Optional.) Display the QoS policy applied to the interface.
display qos policy interface
This command is available in any view.
Applying a QoS policy to a VLAN
Restrictions and guidelines
You can apply a QoS policy to a VLAN to mirror the traffic on all ports in the VLAN.
You can apply only one QoS policy to a VLAN to mirror the inbound traffic on all ports in the VLAN. Outbound traffic on the ports in a VLAN cannot be mirrored.
Procedure
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Apply a QoS policy to a VLAN.
qos vlan-policy policy-name vlan vlan-id-list inbound
3. (Optional.) Display the QoS policy applied to the VLAN.
display qos vlan-policy
This command is available in any view.
Applying a QoS policy globally
Restrictions and guidelines
You can apply a QoS policy globally to mirror the traffic on all ports.
You can apply only one QoS policy globally to mirror the inbound traffic on all ports. Outbound traffic on the ports cannot be mirrored.
Procedure
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Apply a QoS policy globally.
qos apply policy policy-name global inbound
3. (Optional.) Display global QoS policies.
display qos policy global
This command is available in any view.
Flow mirroring configuration examples
Example: Configuring flow mirroring
Network configuration
As shown in Figure 7, configure flow mirroring so that the server can monitor the following traffic:
· All traffic that the Technical Department sends to access the Internet.
· IP traffic that the Technical Department sends to the Marketing Department during working hours (8:00 to 18:00) on weekdays.
Procedure
# Create working hour range work, in which working hours are from 8:00 to 18:00 on weekdays.
<DeviceA> system-view
