Creates a named mirror instance with an optional description, and optional "to port" definition, or remote IP address destination.
| mirror_name | Specifies the mirror name. |
| port | Specifies the mirror output port. |
| port_list | Specifies the list of ports where traffic is to be mirrored. |
| loopback-port | Specifies an otherwise unused port required when mirroring to a port_list. The loopback-port is not available for switching user data traffic. |
| port | Specifies a single loopback port that is used internally to provide this feature. |
| remote-tag | Specifies the value of the VLAN ID used by the mirrored packets when egressing the monitor port. |
| description | Specifies a description of the named mirror instance. |
| mirror-desc | The specified mirror description. |
| remote-ip | Specifies to send mirrored packets to specified remote destination IP address. |
| remote_ip_address | Specifies the destination remote IP address for mirrored packets. |
| vr | Specifies a virtual router of the remote IP address. |
| vr_name | Specifies the virtual router name. If not specified, VR of current command context is used. |
| from | Configures source IP address of encapsulated mirrored packets. |
| source_ip_address | Specifies the local source IPv4 address for encapsulated mirrored packets. |
| auto-source-ip | Automatically use source IP address of egress VLAN to be used to reach remote IP address. |
| ping-check | Configure ping health check for remote IP address. |
| on | Only send mirrored packets to remote IP address if periodic pings to remote IP address are successful (default). |
| off | Send mirrored packets to remote IP address without any ping health check, assuming MAC address and port of next hop IP address are static or learned. |
| priority | Configures a unique priority value for each redundant remote IP address of a mirror instance. |
| priority_value |
Sets the unique priority value for the remote IP address. The priority value must be unique for each remote IP address in the mirror instance. The range is from 1 (least preferred) to 100 (most preferred). The default is 50. |
Disabled.
Ping health check of the remote IP address is enabled unless otherwise specified.
If a VR is not specified, the VR of the current command context is used.
The default priority value is 50.
Use this command to create a named mirror instance with an optional description and optional "to port" or remote IP address definitions. You can create 15 named instances (the instance "DefaultMirror" is created automatically).
For high availability, you can add up to four redundant remote IP addresses. When creating a mirror with this command, you can add one IP address. To add additional remote IP addresses, use the configure mirror mirror_name {to [port port | port-list port_list | loopback port port] | remote-ip {add} remote_ip_address {{vr} vr_name } {from [source_ip_address | auto-source-ip]} {ping-check [on | off]}] {remote-tag rtag | port none} {priority priority_value}command.
The following example creates a mirror instance on port 3, slot 4 :
create mirror to port 3:4
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 15.3.
The remote IP address option was added in ExtremeXOS 22.4.
Redundant remote IP addresses capability was added in ExtremeXOS 30.4.
This command is available on all Universal switches supported in this document.
