create mirror mirror_name {to [port port | port-list port_list loopback-port port] { remote-tag rtag } | remote-ip remote_ip_address {{ vr } {vr_name } {from [ source_ip_address | auto-source-ip]}{ping-check [on | off]}]} {description mirror-desc}

Description

Creates a named mirror instance with an optional description, and optional "to port" definition or remote IP address destination.

Syntax Description

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.

remote-tag	Specifies the value of the VLAN (Virtual LAN) 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.

Default

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.
