Example of configuring the mirroring
Consider the example of configuring the mirroring for the router and the two client devices configured as shown in the diagram below.
In the EcoRouter configuration, the following service-instances conformances are configured:
port te2 – service-instance te2 – interface e2,
port te3 – service-instance te3 – interface e3.
EcoRouter configuration:
! interface e2 ip address 1.1.1.100/24 ! interface e3 ip address 2.2.2.100/24 ! port te1 ! port te2 service-instance te2 encapsulation untagged connect ip interface e2 ! port te3 service-instance te3 encapsulation untagged connect ip interface e3 !
Below are a few examples of mirroring rules. In order for these rules not to be executed all together, you must either delete unnecessary rules, or suspend them, as described below in the Suspending Mirroring section..
Example of the rule #1
In the EcoRouter configuration, make the mirroring rule, in which all traffic from port te2 will be mirrored to port te1.
ecorouter(config)# mirror-session 0 ecorouter(config-mirror)# destination port te1 ecorouter(config-mirror)# source port te2 both
In the configuration output using the show run command, this rule will look like this:
! mirror-session 0 destination port te1 source port te2 both
The work of the mirror-session 0 rule can be illustrated by running the command ping 1.1.1.100 from the client device Client 1 and tracking the change in the counter values for port te2 and port te1. The mirroring scheme implemented by the mirror-session 0 rule is shown below.
At the same time, if Client 1 sent 10 pings to EcoRouter and received 10 responses from it, the increment of counter values will be:
port te2 Total received packets: 10 Total transmitted packets: 10 port te1 Total transmitted packets: 20
Example of the rule #2
In the EcoRouter configuration, add a mirroring rule, in which the incoming service-instance te3 traffic is mirrored to port te1.
ecorouter(config)# mirror-session 1 ecorouter(config-mirror)# destination port te1 ecorouter(config-mirror)# source port te3 service-instance te3 rx
In the configuration output using the show run command, this rule will look like this:
! mirror-session 1 destination port te1 source port te3 service-instance te3 rx
The work of the mirror-session 1 rule can be illustrated by running the command ping 2.2.2.100 from the client device Client 2 and tracking the change in the counter values for port te3 and port te1. The mirroring scheme implemented by the mirror-session 1 rule is shown below.
At the same time, if Client 2 sent 10 pings to EcoRouter and received 10 responses from it, the increment of the counter values will be:
port te3 Total received packets: 10 Total transmitted packets: 10 port te1 Total transmitted packets: 10
Example of the rule #3
In the EcoRouter configuration, add a mirroring rule, in which the outgoing interface e3 traffic is mirrored to port te1.
ecorouter(config)# mirror-session 2 ecorouter(config-mirror)# destination port te1 ecorouter(config-mirror)# source interface e3 tx
In the configuration output using the show run command, this rule will look like this:
! mirror-session 2 destination port te1 source interface e3 tx
The work of the mirror-session 2 rule can be illustrated by running the command ping 2.2.2.100 from the client device Client 2 and tracking the change in the counter values for port te3 and port te1. The mirroring scheme implemented by the mirror-session 2 rule is shown below.
At the same time, if Client 2 sent 10 pings to EcoRouter and received 10 responses from it, the increment of the counter values will be:
interface e3 Total received packets: 10 Total transmitted packets: 10 port te1 Total transmitted packets: 10
