Flow Mirroring

The flowmirroring command allows the mirroring of specific traffic to an unused uplink port to be utilized for either troubleshooting packet flows or allowing network analyzers to sniff all the packets for unusual traffic.

Note: * = required parameter

• Command Path - flowmirroring
• Action -  
  • * Source= - Insert source; The source is used to mirror packet flow of a target port. elect from options?

    Note: The target port must be locked before Mirroring.

Filter examples: vlan 100 ip src host 10.0.0.1 ip dst host 10.0.0.1 vlan 100 and ip src host 10.0.0.1 vlan 100 and not ip src host 10.0.0.1 vlan and not igmp vlan and igmp vlan 100 and igmp Insert desired filter : _

1. From the ESUx> command line, input flowmirroring any mds1-esub-2 valn 100, and press Enter. The prompts will prompt for a source, target port, and a filter.

   ESUx> flowmirroring any mds1-esub-2 vlan 100 <enter> Adding port mirroring... ...operation completed successfully Filter is set and switch is mirroring flow. ESUx>

2. Flow mirroring is enabled and counting mirroring packets.
