Configuring port mirroring

Overview

Port mirroring copies the packets passing through a port or CPU 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 or CPUs. The monitored ports and CPUs called source ports and source CPUs, respectively.

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 is the destination port (also known as the monitor port) of mirrored packets and connects to a data monitoring device. 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 1 when the following conditions exist:

·     Port 1 is monitoring bidirectional traffic of Port 2 and Port 3 on the same device.

·     The packet travels from Port 2 to Port 3.

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.

·     InboundCopies packets received.

·     OutboundCopies packets sent.

·     BidirectionalCopies packets received and sent.

Mirroring group

Port mirroring is implemented through mirroring groups, which include local, remote source, 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 mirroringAlso 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 mirroringAlso known as Remote SPAN (RSPAN). The source device and destination device are connected through a Layer 2 network.

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

Local port mirroring

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.

Figure 1 Local port mirroring implementation

 

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.

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

 

Layer 3 remote port mirroring (ERSPAN)

Layer 3 remote port mirroring is implemented through configuring a local mirroring group on both the source device and the destination device.

Configure the mirroring sources and destination for the local mirroring groups on the source device and destination device as follows:

·     On the source device:

¡     Configure the ports to be monitored as source ports.

¡     Configure the VLANs to be monitored as source VLANs.

¡     Configure the CPUs to be monitored as source CPUs.

¡     Configure the tunnel interface through which mirrored packets are forwarded to the destination device as the monitor port.

·     On the destination device:

¡     Configure the physical port corresponding to the tunnel interface as the source port.

¡     Configure the VLAN of the physical port corresponding to the tunnel interface as the source VLAN.

¡     Configure the port that connects to the data monitoring device as the monitor port.

For example, in a network as shown in Figure 4, Layer 3 remote port mirroring works as follows:

1.     The source device sends one copy of a packet received on the source port (Port A) to the tunnel interface.

The tunnel interface acts as the monitor port in the local mirroring group created on the source device.

2.     The tunnel interface on the source device forwards the mirrored packet to the tunnel interface on the destination device through the GRE tunnel.

3.     The destination device receives the mirrored packet from the physical interface of the tunnel interface.

The tunnel interface acts as the source port in the local mirroring group created on the destination device.

4.     The physical interface of the tunnel interface sends one copy of the packet to the monitor port (Port B).

5.     The monitor port (Port B) forwards the packet to the data monitoring device.

For more information about GRE tunnels and tunnel interfaces, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

Figure 4 Layer 3 remote port mirroring implementation

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. Make sure the ports remove the remote probe VLAN tag of the mirrored packets so the original packets can be sent to the data monitoring devices.

The egress port method cannot implement local port mirroring in this way.

Configuring local port mirroring (SPAN)

A local mirroring group takes effect only when you configure the monitor port and the source ports or source CPUs for the local mirroring group.

A local mirroring group supports multicard mirroring. The mirroring sources and destination can reside on different cards.

·     Configure a cooperating remote destination group on the destination device.

·     If intermediate devices exist, configure the following devices and ports to allow the remote probe VLAN to pass through.

¡     Intermediate devices.

¡     Ports connected to the intermediate devices on the source and destinations devices.

When you configure Layer 2 remote port mirroring, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     The egress port must be assigned to the remote probe VLAN. The configurable reflector port is not necessarily assigned to the remote probe VLAN.

·     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.

·     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.

·     As a best practice, configure devices in the order of the destination device, the intermediate devices, and the source device.

Configuring source ports for a local mirroring group

On the source device, configure the ports you want to monitor as the source ports. On the destination device, configure the physical interface corresponding to the tunnel interface as the source port.

To configure source ports for a mirroring group, use one of the following methods:

·     Assign a list of source ports to the mirroring group in system view.

·     Assign a port to the mirroring group as a source port in interface view.

To assign multiple ports to the mirroring group as source ports in interface view, repeat the operation.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you configure source ports for a local mirroring group, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     A mirroring group can contain multiple source ports.

·     A source port cannot be configured as a reflector port, egress port, or monitor port.

·     A port can be used as a source port for multiple mirroring groups.

·     In an IRF 3.1 system, a cascade port or an upstream port on a PEX cannot be configured as source ports for mirroring groups. For more information about IRF 3.1, see IRF 3.1 configuration in Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide.

Configuring source CPUs for a local mirroring group

CPUs on the following MPUs cannot be configured as source CPUs:

·     LSQM3MPUA0.

·     LSQM3MPUB0.

·     LSQM2MPUC0.

·     LSQM2MPUD0.

·     LSQM2MPUDS0.

On the source device, configure the CPUs of the cards to be monitored as the source CPUs. The destination device does not support source CPU configuration.

A mirroring group can contain multiple source CPUs.

By default, no source CPU is configured for a local mirroring group.

 

Configuring the monitor port for a local mirroring group

On the source device, configure the tunnel interface as the monitor port. On the destination device, configure the port that connects to a data monitoring device as the monitor port.

To configure the monitor port for a mirroring group, use one of the following methods:

·     Configure the monitor port for the mirroring group in system view.

·     Assign a port to a mirroring group as the monitor port in interface view.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you configure the monitor port for a local mirroring group, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     A mirroring group contains only one monitor port.

·     Do not enable the spanning tree feature on the monitor port.

·     In an IRF 3.1 system, the monitor port must reside on the same card as a source port in the mirroring group if the following conditions are met:

¡     The device is a parent device in the IRF 3.1 system.

¡     The source port resides on a card that support cascade ports.

For more information about the cards that support cascade ports, see IRF 3.1 configuration in Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide.

·     As a best practice, use a monitor port only for port mirroring, so the data monitoring device receives only the mirrored traffic.

Configuring flow mirroring

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

To configure flow mirroring, 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:

·     InterfaceThe matching packets are copied to an interface connecting to a data monitoring device. The data monitoring device analyzes the packets received on the interface.

·     CPUThe matching packets are copied to the CPU of the card where they are received. 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.

Outbound flow mirroring is not available for multicast, broadcast, or unknown unicast traffic.

Configuration procedure

# Create working hour range work, in which working hours are from 8:00 to 18:00 on weekdays.

<DeviceA> system-view

[DeviceA] time-range work 8:00 to 18:00 working-day

# Create ACL 3000 to allow packets from the Technical department to access the Internet and to the Marketing department during working hours.

[Device] acl advanced 3000

[Device-acl-ipv4-adv-3000] rule permit tcp source 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 destination-port eq www

[Device-acl-ipv4-adv-3000] rule permit ip source 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 destination 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 time-range work

[Device-acl-ipv4-adv-3000] quit

# Create traffic class tech_c, and configure the match criterion as ACL 3000.

[DeviceA] traffic classifier tech_c

[DeviceA-classifier-tech_c] if-match acl 3000

[DeviceA-classifier-tech_c] quit

# Create traffic behavior tech_b, configure the action of mirroring traffic to port GigabitEthernet 1/0/3.

[DeviceA] traffic behavior tech_b

[DeviceA-behavior-tech_b] mirror-to interface gigabitethernet 1/0/3

[DeviceA-behavior-tech_b] quit

# Create QoS policy tech_p, and associate traffic class tech_c with traffic behavior tech_b in the QoS policy.

[DeviceA] qos policy tech_p

[DeviceA-qospolicy-tech_p] classifier tech_c behavior tech_b

[DeviceA-qospolicy-tech_p] quit

# Apply QoS policy tech_p to the incoming packets of GigabitEthernet 1/0/4.

[DeviceA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/4

[DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/4] qos apply policy tech_p inbound

[DeviceA-GigabitEthernet1/0/4] quit

Verifying the configuration

# Verify that the server can monitor the following traffic:

·     All traffic sent by the Technical department to access the Internet.

·     IP traffic that the Technical department sends to the Marketing department during working hours on weekdays.
