In Remote Mirroring with EAPS, the traffic from switch A is mirrored to the two ports 8:2 and 1:48 to connect to the destination switch. Using the configuration shown, remote mirrored packets have a loop-free redundant path through the network using EAPS (Extreme Automatic Protection Switching).
The configuration for the topology in the above figure is given in the following sections.
enable mirror to port-list 8:2,1:48 loopback-port 8:1 remote-tag 1000 configure mirror add port 8:35 create vlan eaps_control configure vlan eaps_control tag 1001 configure vlan eaps_control add ports 8:2,1:48 tag create eaps eaps1 configure eaps1 mode master configure eaps1 primary port 8:2 configure eaps1 secondary port 1:48 configure eaps1 add control eaps_control configure eaps1 add protected internalMirrorLoopback enable eaps1 enable eaps

create vlan remote_vlan configure vlan remote_vlan tag 1000 remote-mirroring configure vlan remote_vlan add ports 31,45 tag configure vlan remote_vlan add ports 1 create vlan eaps_control configure vlan eaps_control tag 1001 configure vlan eaps_control add ports 31,45 tag create eaps eaps1 configure eaps1 mode transit configure eaps1 primary port 31 configure eaps1 secondary port 45 configure eaps1 add control eaps_control configure eaps1 add protected remote_vlan enable eaps1 enable eaps
Note
The internalMirrorLoopback is an internal VMAN created when enabling mirroring to multiple ports. Depending on the platform, the internal VLAN (Virtual LAN) or VMAN needs to be added as the protected VLAN in the source switch in order to block the ports for mirroring when EAPS is complete.
