Configuring flow mirroring

The flow mirroring feature is available on both Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces. The term
"interface" in this chapter collectively refers to these two types of interfaces. You can use the port
link-mode command to configure an Ethernet port as a Layer 2 or Layer 3 interface (see Layer
2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide).

Overview

Flow mirroring copies packets matching a class to a destination for 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 matching packets to one of the following destinations:
•
Interface—The matching packets are copied to an interface connecting to a data monitoring
device. The data monitoring device analyzes the packets received on the interface.
•
CPU—The matching packets are copied to the CPU of the IRF member device 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.
