4. Configure Mirroring Sources

This action configures a source switch with the criteria for selecting the traffic
to mirror, and assigns the configured source criteria to a previously configured
mirroring session.

Traffic Selection Options

The traffic criteria includes one option from each of the following two selec­
tion criteria:
interface type
■
• port, trunk, and/or mesh
• V LAN
traffic direction or IP type
■
• all traffic inbound, outbound, or both
• ACL-filtered IP traffic type (inbound-only)

Mirroring Source Limits

For a given mirroring session you can configure any one of the following
mirroring source options:
■ multiple ports, trunks, and/or a mesh
■ One VLAN (If a VLAN is already assigned to a mirroring session, assigning
another VLAN to the same session causes the second assignment to
overwrite the first.)
One ACL assignment per session (For example, if you configure an ACL
■
as the source for mirrored traffic inbound on VLAN 1 for session 4, no
port, trunk, mesh, other ACL, or other VLAN mirroring sources can be
configured for session 4.)
