Flowmirror

The diagnostics flowmirror allows you to set up a mirror from a chosen source port or LAG and mirror it to a destination port.  It can also be mirrored to eth2 on the CPU for the purpose of tcpdump captures or wireshark remote captures. 

Diagnostics Flowmirror Attributes 

• Command Path – tolt>diagnostics>Flowmirror 
• Module – tolt
• Container – diagnostics
• Action – Flowmirror – Action to mirror traffic over to a CPU or uplink port for monitoring purposes. 
• Types – 
  • Enable – Whether to enable or disable flowmirroring.   
    • Enable | disable 
  • Dir – Which directions to monitor.  
    • ingress – incoming packet monitor.
    • egress – outgoing packet monitor.
    • both – monitor both ingress and egress packets.
  • Net-interface – When using an Uplink NET as the source, this specifies the name of the NET interface to mirror.
    • NET1..NET12  
  • Nni-interface – When using a single port as a mirror source, this specifies the name of the NET interface to mirror. 
    • SFP1-1-1..SFP1-1-4 
      QSFP1-2-1..QSFP1-2-6
  • Pon-interface – When using a PON port as the mirror source, this specifies the name of the PON port to mirror
    • MDS1-1-1..MDS1-1-16 
  • Target – Default is CPU when using the mirror for tcpdump or rpcap.  When doing a mirror for external monitoring with a security appliance or directly capturing, you can specify a target port to send the traffic to.
    • CPU | SFP1-1-1..SFP1-1-4 | QSFP1-2-1..QSFP1-2-6 
  • Vlan – The VLAN to capture on. 
    • Vlanid or any

Diagnostics Flowmirror Enable Example

This example will mirror the uplink NET1 interface into the CPU.

• Command Path – tolt>diagnostics>flowmirror>
• Module – tolt
• Container – diagnostics
• Command – flowmirror 
• Action – enabe
• Types – Example Parameters
  • dir
  • both
  • net-interface NET1
  • vlan any

1. From the MDS1-ESUA# command line, input tolt diagnostics flowmirror dir both net-interface NET1 vlan any, and press Enter.  Output similar to the following is displayed:
    

   MDS1-ESUA# tolt diagnostics flowmirror dir both net-interface NET1 vlan any <enter> action-success true reason MDS1-ESUA# _

This example will mirror the PON interface into the CPU.

• Command Path – tolt>diagnostics>Flowmirror>

  • pon-interface mds1-1-1 
  • vlan any

1. From the MDS1-ESUA# command line, input tolt diagnostics flowmirror dir both pon-interface mds1-1-1 vlan any, and press Enter.  Output similar to the following is displayed.
    

   MDS1-ESUA# tolt diagnostics flotmirror dir both pon-interface mds1-1-1 vlan any <enter> action-success true reason MDS1-ESUA# _

This example will mirror a single uplink interface into the CPU.

  • vlan any

1. From the MDS1-ESUA# command line, input tolt diagnostics flowmirror dir both nni-interface mds-1-1-1 vlan any, and press Enter.  Output similar to the following is displayed.
    

   MDS1-ESUA# tolt diagnostics flotmirror nni-interface mds1-1-1 dir both net-interface NET1 vlan any <enter> action-success true reason MDS1-ESUA# _

    

   Diagnostics Flowmirror Disable Example

   This example will disable Flowmiroring.

• Command – flowmirror 

• Action – disable

1. From the MDS1-ESUA# command line, input tolt diagnostics flowmirror disable, and press Enter.  Output similar to the following is displayed.

MDS1-ESUA# tolt diagnostics disable <enter>
action-success true 
reason
MDS1-ESUA# _
