Variable Value
Sets the destination MAC address for use in the
remote mirroring encapsulation header. The
mirrored packet is sent to this MAC address. The
DstMac is used only for RMS ports.
For RMT ports, one of the unused MAC
addresses from the switch port MAC address
range is used. This MAC address is saved in the
configuration file.
Enables remote mirroring on the port. When
remote mirroring is enabled, the following events
occur:
• A static entry for the DstMac is added to the
Forwarding Database (FDB). All packets that
come with this remote mirroring DstMac are
sent to the RMT port.
• The switch periodically (once in 10 seconds)
transmits broadcast Layer 2 packets in the
associated VLAN so that all nodes in the
network can learn the DstMac.
Specifies the Ethertype of the remote mirrored
packet. The default value is 0x8103.
Specifies whether the port is an RMT (mode is
termination) or an RMS (mode is source).
Sets the source MAC address for use in the
remote mirroring encapsulation header. The
mirrored packet is sent from the RMS port, and
the source MAC parameter in the header is
derived from this address. The source MAC
address of the encapsulated frame contains the
first 45 bits of this MAC address. The three least
significant bits are derived from the port number
of the RMS port. The MAC address of the port is
used as the default value.
Specifies to which VLAN the remote mirroring
destination MAC address belongs. This must be
