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.

Default

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.

Usage Guidelines
