Configure I-SID Monitoring

Use the following procedure to configure Fabric RSPAN on the Backbone Edge Bridge (BEB) connected to the monitor station.

About this task

Do not configure the source of mirrored traffic (mirroring to an I-SID) and the analyzer (monitoring an I-SID) on the same local device with the same I-SID offset. If you require mirroring and monitoring on the same local device, use standard port-based mirroring instead of Fabric RSPAN. Fabric RSPAN mirrors traffic into an I-SID of the SPB Fabric network and monitors traffic on the remote device; the network analyzer resides on the remote monitoring device and not on the same local device.

Note

Note

If you change the egress port or egress MLT for a particular session using a CLI command, it overwrites the existing egress port list or egress MLT.

Use the data in the following table to use the Monitor-By-ISID tab.

Name

Description

Index

Specifies the entry that contains monitor by I-SID information.

MonitorIsidOffset

Configures the monitoring I-SID offset value. The offset ID is mapped to the actual monitor I-SID value to which the packets are mirrored.

MonitorIsid

Specifies the actual monitor I-SID value to which packets are mirrored.

EgressPortList

Specifies the egress ports to which traffic analyzers connect.

EgressMltId

Specifies the egress MLT ID to which traffic analyzers connect.

MapToVlanId

Specifies the VLAN ID to map with mirrored traffic on the monitoring node.

Enable

Enables or disables monitoring by I-SID.
